Question 3

my cholesterol level is 5.3.  what advice can you give to being it down.   it's never normally so high.

Accepted Answer

Not too high: Cholesterol of 5.3 is not abnormally high. However you need evaluation of all the lipids. If you wish to reduce your cholesterol first step would be to reduce your intake of saturated fats and lose weight if your bmi is more than 25. Exercise is generally a good idea to improve fitness.

Question 4

i was told the normal cholesterol level is 100-187. i'm at 183. should i be worried since i'm so young and it's already at the high end of normal?

Accepted Answer

Cholesterol Level: Checking your cholesterol is important at your age so you can identify a potential issue that can contribute to your future risk of heart attacks and stroke.  I would stress a low cholesterol diet as the initial therapy for any patient your age.  Lifestyle changes such as exercise, weight control, and stopping smoking can have a profound effect on your future risk of strokes and heart attacks.

Question 5

i am taking aztor 10 mg for cholesterol.now the cholesterol level is in normal. can i stop the medicine right now?

Accepted Answer

Cholesterol: Treating elevated blood lipids is not a short term thing. If the diet and exercise have been modified and the lipids have lowered enough, that might be enough if continued. When diet and exercise need medication added to get the lipids down, usually long term or life long lipid medication will be required to keep the lipid levels from going back up. Talk to your doctor about your situation.

Question 6

hai

i am 24 years old man, have cholesterol level is 201mg/dl and sgpt is 94u/l
tested before having food 
is it normal or ?

Accepted Answer

94 IU/L not normal: Your total cholesterol level is acceptable at 201 mg/dl, but it would be significantly lower in many young men your age. The more concerning thing is the SGPT/ALT liver enzyme. It is about double the normal (usual normal is 10-40 IU/L). Liver inflammation from excess weight, medications, or alcohol intake are most common causes, but more serious hepatitis could be present. See your doctor:)

Question 7

what is the average normal for ldl, hdl and vldl cholesterol level. iam 48 yrs old

Accepted Answer

Cholesterol: Hdl levels &gt;60mg/dl are good, 36-59 acceptable and 190 is very high.  The vldl normally ranges between 5 - 40 mg/dl. But to understand this you must have triglyceride levels, total cholesterol and a full detailed medical history and exam.

Question 8

is an ldl cholesterol level of 125 bad? im only 22 and healthy, normal bmi.

Accepted Answer

Too High: Your LDLshould be lower than or equal to your HDL and needs to be corrected by medications since it is genetically programmed 98%of the time and is only affected by diet about 2% If you have your Dr treat  this you will have a much lower chance of getting HYpertension Heart attack stroke and kidney failure 25-40 years and will live 25-30 years longer by avoiding these conditions, prevention is key

Question 9

my hdl was 57 my ldl was 115 my tg was 194 cholesterol level 211 is this normal or bad? i weigh 137 i'm 5'4

Accepted Answer

Laboratory tests: Are only meaningful when interpreted in context of the rest of the patient.  Isolated results are frequently meaningless.  A lot depends on your personal and family history and physical examination.  Ask your doctor to interpret these results for you and make specific recommendations.

Question 10

my most recent hdl cholesterol level was 89. how high can hdl go in normal healthy people?

Accepted Answer

> 70 is great: Hdl (high-density lipoprotein) isn't really a cholesterol measurement to begin with....It's a carrier protein that assists in transporting away and decreasing risk of cholesterol deposits in blood vessel walls.  There are no studies indicating a "dangerously" high level, but, of course, a high HDL is a great heart protective measurement.
