A member asked:

Can you let me know is it dangerous to exercise with small vessel disease and high lipids?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Small vessel disease: If you have exercise associated ischemia with the small vessel disease, the exercise could be a potential risk. You'd need to consult your doctor to see what is safe and what isn't.

I exercise 5x/week; high fiber, low sugar diet; normal weight; low BP. I'm 40 and mostly healthy. But, my LDL-C is high (150-160 since 2012). The rest of my lipid panel looks fine. Would statins make sense? Or should I get my LDL-P checked first?
