A member asked:

Cholesterol is a little high. should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cholesterol: Cholesterol is just one of many risk factors for atherosclerotic vascular disease. If your cholesterol is a little high and you have no other risk factors for atherosclerotic disease, you shouldn't lose a lot of sleep over it.
