There are three levels of heart block (see below), and usually only the most serious type causes symptoms. This type of heart block is known as a complete, or third-degree, heart block. Symptoms of heart block can include: shortness of breath.
It can be hard to understand the cholesterol numbers on the cholesterol food chart, much less what your doctor is saying when he tells you, âYour total cholesterol is 240, your HDL is 35, your LDL is 170, and your triglycerides are 350.â.
When seeking to lower your total cholesterol, what number should you aim for? A total cholesterol score of 200 mg/dL is desirable. Aim for an LDL (bad) cholesterol level of 100 mg/dL or lower, and an HDL (good) cholesterol level of 60 mg/dL or higher.
