What causes a high blood level of homocysteine (over 65), how does this affect my heart and body, could my daily medications Telemekind-H and Lipikind-F be responsible, and what steps can I take to lower it back to a normal range?
High homocysteine can irritate blood vessels, slightly increasing heart risks. It is often caused by vitamin deficiencies (like B12 or folate). Regarding your medications, Lipikind-F (atorvastatin/fenofibrate) contains fenofibrate, which can sometimes raise homocysteine levels. Telemekind-H (telmisartan/hydrochlorothiazide) is unlikely to be the cause. To help lower it, I recommend discussing a simple blood test for B-vitamins with your doctor, as supplements can often bring these levels down safely. Please consult your physician before making any medication changes.
