I Feel Breathless And Feelings Like Heart Will Stop Now. Is This Due To High Cholesterol Level Or Any Other Heart Disease ?
I am 38 year old with weight 65 kg. and height 165 c.m. From last month I feel breathless and feelings like heart will stop now. some days i rise up from sleep without getting breath. So I checked my sugar and cholesterol. Sugar 104 in fasting. Cholesterol 260, LDL 189, HDL 52, Trygly-97, VLDL-19 I am not overweight, is this due to high cholesterol level or any other heart disease .
Hi.. High cholesterol can cause heart diseases.. You may need to check your heart status.. It would be better to get a complete healthcheck up done at the same time.. The choice however is to you... All the best...:)
Cholesterol levels, especially that of 'bad' cholesterol (LDL) are high. This needs treatment with statins.
Whether the cholesterol levels can be blamed for your symptoms is difficult to say.
you need to undergo a treadmill test to see if there is a possibility that coronary artery blockages have occurred. Another possibility is that your exercise capacity has become less because of sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise.
You need to be evaluated in detail
