Why should I test for Cholesterol?

When your cholesterol rises above the desirable level, it may build up in your body and may put you at increased risk for heart disease or stroke. Cholesterol levels can be high because of your diet, the amount of exercise you get and your family history. High cholesterol is one of the main risk factors for coronary heart disease that you can control. There really are no warning signs for high cholesterol levels. When symptoms finally do occur, they usually take the form of angina or a heart attack in response to the buildup of plaque in the arteries. This is a condition that demands an investment in prevention before dangerous, life-threatening symptoms occur. Knowing your total blood cholesterol level is an important first step in determining your risk for heart disease. Remember, just because you don't currently exhibit any signs of heart disease, doesn't mean you won't develop them. Now is the best time for prevention. Otherwise, a high blood cholesterol level, as well as other risk factors, can lead to possible serious problems in the future.
