Are there any symptoms associated with high cholesterol?

Answer by  embockjr (709)

In reality, no. It is necessary that you visit a doctor and have a blood test taken. The results will indicate what your levels are, and if high, the doctor will be able to suggest countermeasures. Often a change in diet may be all that is necessary to bring your levels into an acceptable range.

High Cholesterol is the silent killer, but you can predict if you are going to have a problem based on your family's heart history, do you eat animal products, and are over weight. These factors can indicate that you may have high cholesterol. Find out and get tested.
