I've been seeing doctors for my thyroid and cervical spondylitis issues, and during my recent visits, they found my lipid levels are off - my triglycerides are high at 200, my HDL is low, and my LDL is high. The endocrinologist recommended some diet and exercise changes, and the neuro physician prescribed STORVAS 10 mg to help control my lipid levels alongside my spondylitis meds. However, when I visited a gastroenterologist for a routine check-up, they told me not to start any cholesterol meds since Id need to take them for life. I feel stuck and unsure about what to do.

I'm dealing with hypothyroidism, but it's stable right now. A few days back, I had a fever and took Crocin for a day, which made the fever go away. But now I'm having these episodes where it feels like I can't breathe properlysometimes when I'm sitting, other times when I'm standing. Drinking water or eating helps for a bit, but then the shortness of breath comes back. Could this be some kind of infection or just my anxiety acting up? Anyone know if I should be getting some tests done?
