No you won't : Unless you don't follow a treatment plan. High cholesterol and / or abnormal lipids profile treatment is within reach to avoid heart diseases, medications, life style and diet changes , weight management do prevent complications. You are not alone, this is a common finding, good that you discovered it early, wish you wellness
