I want to know the symptoms of having a high cholesterol and what is the best medicine for this. thank you?

Depends: Most people with an elevated cholesterol have no symptoms for many years. But high cholesterol contributes to the development of coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular disease. Symptoms: chest pain, dyspnea, stroke, heart attack. Treatment: low cholesterol diet, exercise, don't smoke, manage diabetes. Medications: statins (atorvastatin and Rosuvastatin are the most potent).

No symptoms--Niacin: There may be no symptoms. However, the safest, cheapest, most effective treatment for high cholesterol is niacin--vitamin b3. Niacin will lower total cholesterol, ldl, and triglycerides, and raise hdl. Only adverse effect is harmless (and transient--about 20 minuutes) flushing and itching, to which you will become accustomed with continued use. Dose required is 1, 500-2, 000 mg per day.

Change your diet: The best medicine may be a change in diet,if you are willing to slow transition to a vegetarian diet and then possibly to a Vegan Diet (see Checklist on Vegan diet). Studies show that vegetarians, as a group, are much less likely to die of a heart attack than non-vegetarians. And Vegans even less likely than Vegetarians.This same dietary change may also reverse your diabetes. http://bit.ly/1OiIRcI
