I’m having FESS surgery next week (and possibly a septoplasty, though my doctor said he doesn’t think he’ll end up needing to do one), and I’m a little nervous. I’ve never been under anesthesia before, and I’m also anxious about the recovery. I’ve heard mixed things, so I’m just curious to hear from anyone who’s gone through it!
I’m 32 years old and I recently had lipoprotein(a) checked due to family history and it came back at 388 nmol/L (lab reference high >125). I’m otherwise healthy, exercise regularly, and currently on Mounjaro (for PCOS). No smoking history. I’ve always had good blood pressure. I made the mistake of Googling and now I’m pretty anxious about what this means long term. I have a follow up appointment with my PCP next week to talk about the results but just wondering if anyone in a similar situation has any advice.
32 year old female. recently had lipoprotein(a) checked due to family history and it came back at 388 nmol/L (lab reference high >125). I’m otherwise healthy, actively losing weight, exercise regularly, and currently on Mounjaro (for PCOS). No smoking history. I’ve always had good blood pressure. I made the mistake of Googling and now I’m pretty anxious about what this means long term. How concerning is a level this high in someone my age, and what are the typical next steps doctors usually take after a number like this? I know that it’s genetic and there’s not much to do for the number itself.
