A member asked:
I just got my cholesterol reading and it's 294 total cholestrol & 395 triglycerides can i get some medication to control it?

Sure. See doctor.: Having elevated bad cholesterol eventually leads to arterial narrowing or blockage. That means decreased blood flow to the brain. When the brain gets decreased blood flow, all the bad things that you can imagine happening to the brain will indeed start to happen. That includes lowered cognitive functioning. Keep those arteries clear! One's primary care doctor can evaluate and start therapy.
