In this delightful back-and-forth, we uncover that high cholesterol isn't directly causing EBV reactivation or IgG1 subclass issues, but immune function and lifestyle might be culprits. Consult your doctor, dear!
Sammy
i was wondering if high cholesterol could cause ebv reactivation and or low IgG 1 subclass?
Phyllis
Oh, honey, you've got some questions, don't you? Let's see what's going on here. First off, do you have a history of high cholesterol? How's your diet looking these days? Be honest now.
Sammy
yes. it's genetic
Phyllis
Genetic high cholesterol, huh? Ain't that just a peach. Alright, let's dig a little deeper. Have you noticed any other symptoms lately, like fatigue or swollen glands?
Sammy
i have had testing done. i have high ebv markers and low IgG 1
Phyllis
Alright, darlin', so you've already done some prancing around with the lab tests, huh? Well, let me ask you this: How's your energy level been? Any issues with tiredness or feeling run-down?
Sammy
yes and yes
Phyllis
You've got high EBV markers and low IgG1, along with fatigue, which all fit together like pieces of an annoying jigsaw puzzle. While high cholesterol itself isn’t directly causing your EBV reactivation or affecting IgG1, your immune system might be having a rough time. Stress, lifestyle, and maybe even any medications you're on could play a part too. Sweetie, it sounds like your immune system is a bit on vacation. I'd suggest seeing your doctor about addressing the EBV and checking in on that immune function.
