Possibly: Cholesterol level is mostly determined by our genes, but stress can raise it- your body uses cholesterol to make stress hormones.High cholesterol isn't always bad- it depends on the types of cholesterol. See http://www.Chem.Ox.Ac.Uk/mom/cholesterol/ & http://www.Cbn.Com/cbnnews/healthscience/2012/october/cholesterol-myth-what-really-causes-heart-disease/ focus on reducing stress to improve health!
