Could The High Level Of Bad Cholesterol Be Due To An Impending Heart Disease?
Hi. My mother said she was having mild chest pains a couple of days ago. I checked her BP which was 142/70. Her pulse was 84. She does take cholesterol medicine. Cholesterol 165 Triglycerides 124 HDL 58 >40 MG/DL
LDL Calculated 82 This is her lipid panel. The bad cholesterol isn't optimum to my understanding.
Should I be concern if any impending heart disease?

hi
yes you should be concerned of an impending heart disease as she already on medications for cholesterol and she is having chest pain
i would suggest get her to be done a chest xray, ecg and echo and cardiac markers to rule out any problems with the heart.
hope to have answered your query
thanking you.
