A member asked:
Is there ever any unknown cause of high cholesterol? is it possible for someone to have high cholesterol without any obvious reasons?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is usually not possible to ascertain the cause of high cholesterol in most people. If you have high cholesterol, reduce your intake of saturated fats, lose weight if your overweight, do not use tobacco, have no more than one drink a day, exercise and retest the level in six months and discuss the results with your doctor.
