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.
Bad cholesterol is known as LDL or low density lipoprotein. You should also consider your triglyceride levels. Total cholesterol levels should ideally be between 100-200 mg/dL for an adult. Diet plays an important part in your cholesterol levels.
