Research Notes on High Cholesterol Symptoms
High cholesterol does not cause any symptoms.1 It is usually discovered during routine screening. It may also be found when someone is diagnosed with a condition that high cholesterol plays a part in causing.2
Fast Facts:
- A total cholesterol level of 240 mg/dL and above is considered high blood cholesterol; a low-density lipoprotein (LDL) level of 160-189 mg/dL is high.1
- The National Cholesterol Education Program suggests having blood cholesterol levels checked every five years starting at age 20.1
- Your doctor may suggest more frequent checks if your cholesterol level is not within the desirable range, you have a family history of high cholesterol, or if you have other risk factors.3
