How much is your cholestrol level? ( those of you that know)

[Wduaqnug]

Normal ranges from 150-200, anything below is bad and everything above is bad

Tired of flaming your posts, it gets boring after 50 or so...

 

[FoBoT]

i haven't had mine tested in 5-7 years, last time i had it done, it was just about 200

i used to get these letters from a university doing a study on cholesteral, my mother's brothers have all died of heart disease/had high cholesteral and so they are trying to show the genetic link

i think they lost track of me a few moves ago, i should probably try to track them down and get it checked again

my mom's 2nd oldest brother died of a heart attack at ~55 years old, i am 37

 

[TMPadmin]

170. What do I win?

 

[vi edit]

~122

Yes, even the doctors call me a freak.

 

[pillage2001]

Does it hurt to check the levels??

I'm afraid of needles.

Do you go around telling everyone you lowered your cholestrol level? I find that commercial funny. "do you know why I pulled you over?" "I uh? Lowered my cholestrol!" I guess that stuff works. Think I should take it at 170?

 

[Wduaqnug]

122 OMG you dont eat at all do you?

 

[Riprorin]

Damn, I just got mine checked. I run 35 miles a week and have a very healthy diet and mine's 243.

Must be genetic.

Any side effects to Lipitor?

Pills are bad once you start taking them you will be taking them forever. best way to naturally lower it

The guy can barely spell "cat", so you could ignore any and all medical advice he may dispense for starters.

I just spoke with my doctor about Cholestrol medicine cause I don't like pills and mines above two thirty something. He said there was no problem stopping the medicine any time you want. There's no dependency and it won't cause higher levels then what you had if you stop. I stopped drinking milk which I love and am trying to get more exercize before I start on pills, though, just to see.

There are only negative side effects if you like your liver....

If your doctor says its ok, I'd go for it.
