What Causes Increased Blood Cholesterol?

Brief Answer:
No its not .

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Greetings.

Thanks for your query.

I can understand your concern regarding the disease, don't worry its not a matter of concern, so relax.

After going through the history I am in the opinion that your blood cholesterol is increased, which is expected as per your age and sex, because you are in the post menopausal state.

In post menopausal stage the concentration of one good hormone called oestrogen becomes less so the chances of osteoporosis (bone weakening) increases, and also cholesterol starts increasing which causes bad effect on various organ of body.

As per your history your cholesterol is 300 mg/dl, so this condition is called dyslipidemia.

Your cholesterol is high , but not so high to creat bad effect on body, and the happy part of it is , that it could be managed by various means.

I would like to give you some tips to keep control of your cholesterol.

1. Please continue cholesterol lowering medicine tab-prevastatin 20 mg daily.
2. Avoid oily and fatty food like pizzas, burger, fried items,binge food, etc.
3. Do daily exercise, yoga,meditation, walking to keep fit.
4. Drink plenty of fluid, have green leafy vegetables, fruits, salads,etc.
5. Avoid smoking,alcohol,caffeine, etc.
6. Have multivitamins, and calcium supplements.
7. Be in regular check up with lipid profile,blood pressure.
8. Have periodic check up with your treating doctor.

So in short healthy lifestyle and diet modification will keep you fit and your blood parameters in control.

Hope my advice have cleared your doubts, if still you have any query then you are hearty welcome, please do not hesitate to ask me again.

Wishing you healthy life and good luck.

Regards,

Thanks.
