Suffering From Constant Fatigue, Causing Hair Loss And Diarrhoea. Blood Work Normal Except Cholesterol. Suggestion?
My partner has been suffering from fatique for around 5 months, 3 months ago his hair started to fall out. He has the occasional bout of diahorea. He had blood tests done 2 weeks ago , full blood count, testsosterone & thyroid all of which came back normal. However his colesterol has risen even though he has changed his diet . I m extremely worried that there is something seriously wrong with him.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Increased cholesterol is an incidental finding but important to treat.
The diet may not have been appropriate.
He should also exercise.
If still high, he needs drug like statin
Normal hormones are reassuring. He may need further assessment and assistance from an Internist for his hair loss and diarrhoea,
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
