Anyone ever have their cholesterol levels checked?
And not gotten a good result? I had it done recently and the results weren't good. 
I'm really upset and scared about it, especially since my dad had quintuple heart bypass surgery a few years ago (though no one else in my family has ever had heart problems). I've started exercising more and being more careful about what I eat, but I haven't ever been an unhealthy eater in the past. I guess this post is more of a vent since it's been bothering me for a week now. No more
for me 
Re: Anyone ever have their cholesterol levels checked?
i had mine checked in july and they were fine, but the nurse explained to me that blood cholesterol levels are linked to food cholesterol but not totally related. how your body processes the food and heredity play into it as well.
GL w/ keeping it under control!
Ok, I'm glad I'm not a weirdo, because mine was high when I was 5 too Terp! I cut back on things like cheese and eggs, and eventually it got better. I had it checked back in the fall and it was still normal.
Good luck! It could be just hereditary. I know my MIL eats really well & exercises, but hers is still pretty high and her docs have just told her that it runs in her family.
