A member asked:
Can high cholesterol make you light headed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: I suppose there could be rare cases of severe familial hypertriglyceridemia with triglyceride values in the 3000+ range where one might develop some symptom like that, but in general the answer is no. Cholesterol levels are not related to anything we can sense. However, high levels of LDL cholesterol over many years can lead to vascular disease that can indirectly cause lightheadedness..
