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.
Identify Healthy Cholesterol Levels. According to the American Heart Association a healthy total cholesterol level is less then 200 mg/dl. You are considered to have borderline high cholesterol if your level is between 200 to 239 mg/dl. You will be diagnosed with high cholesterol if your level is is 240 mg/dl and over.
