Could you have high cholesterol?

This Week's Tip
Could you have high cholesterol?

You could have high cholesterol and not even know it because high cholesterol doesn't cause noticeable symptoms. That's why it's important to get a blood test to check your cholesterol at least every 5 years (or more often if you have other risk factors). As cholesterol levels rise, so does your risk for cardiovascular disease. High cholesterol (especially high levels of LDL or "bad" cholesterol) can lead to artery blockage and damage, which contributes to heart disease and can lead to a heart attack. If you have high cholesterol along with other risk factors (like high blood pressure or tobacco use), you are at a much higher risk for heart disease. While some people are genetically predisposed to high cholesterol levels, lifestyle changes and medications can help control cholesterol levels.
