A member asked:
How high can cholesterol be, before it starts to get dangerous? mine is about 7. (the bad cholestetol)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
7 is too high: If your total cholesterol is 7, it is too high and you should be treated. If it is your LDL that is 7 then it is way too high and you should be treated right away. Please consult your doctor for advice regarding diet, exercise and medication.
