Thank you for taking the cholesterol mini-checkup!
Your answers indicate your recommended LDL cholesterol is 160 mg/dL or less. Consider seeing your physician to determine if your LDL level should be lower.
If you appear to have too much "bad" LDL cholesterol (usually, it should be under 130), see a doctor. It can clog your arteries and prevent blood from flowing freely. Worse, the clog may eventually break loose and cause a heart attack or stroke.
In many people, a low-fat diet and exercise can dramatically reduce bad cholesterol levels. But some people have too much LDL no matter how hard they try to lower it. That's when a medication may be necessary. Work with your doctor to figure whether you need to improve your cholesterol and, if so, how.
