Cholesterol Levels Discussion-thread

My doctor mentioned that my cholesterol levels were high, but I don't understand why since I'm careful about my diet and avoid things like cakes, cream, and dairy products. However, over the past year, my stress has increased significantly, leading to a progression from stage 2 to stage 3 in my Barrett's disease, hair loss, stomach pain, and severe anxiety and panic attacks. When I suggested it might be due to high cortisol and adrenal issues, he didn't seem interested.

does anoyne know what tests the doctor should order on the blood form to check for these specific markers? He isn't familiar with them himself, so having some guidance would be helpful when I go back to discuss this further. It's frustrating when you lose trust in your doctor because they don't have time to look into things properly.

Thank you in advance.
