since you asked the entire lab results attached (had to screenshot – couldn’t find a proper download from the clinic app). As for symptoms, hair loss is definitely one. The blood pressure medication I’be been taking for a month now is hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg 1X a day) which is a diuretic but I’m stopping it to use labetalol – I view BP med as short term – it is my first time taking such meds. I have started a rigorous workout routine (F45 bootcamp ) and watching my food intake – adding in more protein, taking Redmond’s electrolytes in the morning.
Just wanted to add that I have labs I’m working on with Dr. Stacy Barczak Baker – Functional Medicine Testing (HTMA, OAT, Total Tox (3), DUTCH) – those i can share once received but may take a few weeks
I’ve also been seeing a cardiologist since my BP was elevated – I did a stress test which I stopped at 6 min 40 seconds because my lower back started to hurt so I wasn’t completely breathless – the Dr decided the test had abnormalities and ordered a nuclear test which I completely refused! I’m not sure what was abnormal since he looked at the printed echodiagram for only a few seconds – my BP did not go over the 180/90 mark at peak. It’s frustrating when Doctors see you as another case to make money off of – he initially requested a nuclear test which insurance didn’t cover & I was definitely not going to do it!

This was very informative – just recently did a blood test that included CBC – results were low for MCH & MCHC and high for platelet count. Iron came back normal per their testing approach as attached. Curious what could high platelet count be from (I do have elevated blood pressure & was recently diagnosed with TMJ)

sorry, not quite sure if I u understood – the report shows resulting numbers from a fasting plasma glucose (FPG) test – I don’t have any other records to determine anything else – I don’t recall drinking anything

I love Dr Amen’s Instagram page. His mini reels are very informative. I was introduced to him by B when she posted about her visit.
I also like Vani Hari “thefoodbabe” Instagram page. I repost a lot of her posts because they are eye openers on the yucky ingredients that dominate the US Food market.
