Hello
Im concerned regarding my partners health.
Recently he has had a few things going on eg : rapid heart rate beating, a few pains around his liver area, dizziness and headaches, feeling weak.
He went for a blood test which reviled he has High lipid levels, indicating high cholesterol levels, for his age (34)
Most days he is very red in the face, but always very active ?
Yesterday he went for a blood test as something is not quite right with his liver … they rang this morning asking to speak to him today .
What could this be ?

Has he had any other bloods done? Is it liver or liver and spleen?

They're fairly non-specific symptoms that you list, but an immediate call back means either they need the test repeating for technical reasons (which they really should explain upfront, because it's provokes worry otherwise) or there is indeed something that needs attention straight away.

When will he be able to call them back?

@UnmentionedElephantDildo
He asked the receptionist what the result was roughly about and she couldn’t say because she wasn’t medical trained …
He has been waiting for 3 weeks for this blood test . I think something is going on with him ? The doctor didn’t really give to much away .
He is ringing after 2 today….

Does he drink a lot? That can cause high cholesterol and obviously liver problems
