Understanding Your Cholesterol Test Results
High blood cholesterol is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. But
high level of blood cholesterol does not cause symptoms - people do not feel ill just by
having high blood cholesterol. Many people are totally unaware that their cholesterol
level is too high, therefore it is very important to keep a constant monitor of your
cholesterol level. Consult your physician about your blood cholesterol level.
