I recently had a MBP and 3 areas were slightly abnormal. cholesterol=209 Albumin=3.4 MPV=12.9 I am 47 and recently (1 month ago) went back on BC (Sprintec) which caused my BP to raise significantly. I then started on 12.5 mg Hydrochlorothiazide. My BC was recently changed to one that does not have estrogen but my BP remains high. I eat mostly non-processed foods and exercise 1-3 times a week (used to be 4-7). I read that BC and diuretics can affect cholesterol levels, also the Albumin level is very close to normal so I m not to concerned about those. The MPV is my biggest concern. Has my elevated BP affected this? What level of concern should I have and what lifestyle changes could I make to reduce my number?
