Apob increase after lifestyle changes
Hello, I (F 47) had my APOB tested for the first time about two months ago. It was 89. Since then, I have increased my cardio exercise frequency, as well as begun taken psyllium husk every day since then and doubled my omega 3 (algae) pills. I have an otherwise healthy diet and I always aim towards Mediterranean diet. My CRP has always been low, .02.
I retested after adding the psyllium husk and exercise increase and omega. Now the result is 93. I wonder if there’s any reason that it would actually be higher with these positive lifestyle changes? Or is that amount of difference and variability common within a one or two month time period? Or are temporary things like not drinking enough water before testing a factor? (Other cholesterol markers improved, only not Apob). I have one copy of Apoe4.
