High cholesterol can be inherited, but it’s often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices, and thus preventable and treatable. A healthy diet, regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol.
High cholesterol has no symptoms. A blood test is the only way to detect high cholesterol. It can cause atherosclerosis, a dangerous accumulation of cholesterol and other deposits on the walls of your arteries.
These deposits (plaques) can reduce blood flow through your arteries, which can cause complications, such as: chest pain, heart attack or stroke.
