as above. had some routine blood tests done and the results are fine in every department apart from the above. i am at 6.5 when you should be between 3 and 5 apparently. theyve scared me a little bit as i need to make an urgent docs app. as i'm ''critical'' :( theyre going to shove me on tabs straight away.
i didnt think i was particularly bad health wise. just shows ya. anyone else suffer from this???
ps most disturbing thing im only 28!!! :( :( :( :(
-
Dunno about mine,never had it tested.My motto is if it ain't broke don't fix it. ;D
Good job you had your's done though ;)
-
I was, but a cardiac arrest (with two bump starts from a booster pack) half a dozen stents inserted as required and a daily shedload of tabs, well, all good now! ;D
If it needs sorting, then get it done sharpish. You might not be 15 feet from the backdoors of a paramedic crew when the skinny guy with the big black hoodie and knife on a stick comes to call! ;D :y

trouble is any heart attack at young ages is more deadly than the old age..

haha we weren't built to last for ages in the sack. we were built to sort the ache in our pants as quickly as possible so we could hunt for more food.

yep.. and so the heart attack is ;D
ps : I have a job mate who had it on 35 , another who had it on 39 and one cousin at similiar ages.. so no guarantee there..
besides when its constantly damaging your arteries you are guaranteeing to have it now or later :(

Both my parents had their first heart attacks when they were about 10 years younger than I am now, so I must be due one soon. ::) ;D

Thought I was reasonably fit and healthy with a decent diet but found out I had fairly high cholesterol last year. Been on statins ever since and they're bloody marvellous - cholestoral count down to around 3.5 now! You don't have to be overweight or on a bad diet to get high cholestoral, it can happen to anyone so don't let it stess you out. ;)
-
its very dependant on your life style and stress levels.. but kebabs and curries obviously dont help ::)

thats good to know mate, thank you. and cheers cem for the advice :y
lets put it this way... i do like my beer, i dont really eat that much but i prob do eat the wrong stuff when drunk. and i walk an hour in total a day. who knows though lol ::) :) :) :)

Thing is, was this an overall figure?
If you have high LDL it's not so bad as high HDL, there is a difference. I was checked on the rig by the medic with a finger prick test, he said 'ooooooh that's a bit high' It was 7.1.
Went to the quacks after a 24 hour fast for a proper test.
They give you the results with LDL and HDL separate so you get a real idea if your doing yourself harm or not.
My lifestyle then and now included the odd 4 mile run, about once a week, a lot of mountain biking (then) not so much now (too bloody hot in the summer) plenty of long beach/promenade walks (now) swimming and a relatively stress free job. So after the initial scare was told by the nurse that I'm doing just fine.
I have since cut down on beer but upped the red wine intake, well, in Spain, it's a must.
Go back for a proper test with a 24 hour fast before and see what the results are, I think and hope you will be pleasantly surprised, above all don't panic and remember if you take statins you will NOT be able to sunbathe on holiday, really sensitive skin from the pills.

Booze and fags are a big contribution to raised cholesterol - probably why mine was on the high side! ::)

Not bad considering my alcohol intake is quite considerable ::)
No binge drinking but quite often see off a bottle of Wine most nights with the Mrs, often going out for meals too, more booze, Southern Comfort & Lemonade is also refreshing and often consumed.
Staying off booze for this week, apart from tonight going to a Champagne Bar ;D

That said its either a 20 minute walk to Staff Shuttle, or 20 minute cycle of 4.8 miles each way to work, so that counter-acts most of it :)
