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.
If your bad cholesterol, LDL, is below 100 mg/dL and your good cholesterol, HDL, is above 40 mg/dL for men or 50 for women, your levels are healthy. But two out of every three adults have high cholesterol, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.
