High Cholesterol (Hyperlipidemia)

What is High Cholesterol?

High cholesterol, also known as hyperlipidemia, occurs when there’s too much cholesterol in your blood. Cholesterol is a fatty substance that is necessary for your body to function, but having too much can lead to serious health problems like heart disease and stroke.
The condition often develops without noticeable symptoms, making it important to get regular blood tests to check your cholesterol levels.

Causes of High Cholesterol

Several factors can contribute to high cholesterol levels, including:
  • Unhealthy Diet: Eating foods high in saturated fats and trans fats.
  • Lack of Exercise: Physical inactivity increases the risk of high cholesterol.
  • Smoking: Smoking lowers your “good” cholesterol (HDL) and raises “bad” cholesterol (LDL).
  • Excessive Alcohol: Drinking too much alcohol can increase cholesterol levels.
  • Genetics: High cholesterol can run in families.
  • Other Medical Conditions: Diseases such as hypothyroidism, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease can also raise cholesterol levels.

Risk Factors

Certain lifestyle choices and health conditions increase your risk of developing high cholesterol, including:
  • Family history of high cholesterol
  • Being overweight or obese
  • Eating an unhealthy diet Smoking
  • Excessive alcohol consumption
  • Having diabetes or hypothyroidism

How High Cholesterol Affects Your Body

When cholesterol builds up in the blood vessels, it can cause plaque formation, leading to a condition known as atherosclerosis. Over time, this can narrow and block blood flow, increasing the risk of:

  • Heart attack
    Stroke
  • Coronary artery disease
  • Sudden cardiac arrest

Diagnosis

High cholesterol typically doesn’t show any symptoms, which is why it’s important to get a blood test to monitor your cholesterol levels.

Managing High Cholesterol

Fortunately, high cholesterol can often be managed through lifestyle changes, and sometimes medication is needed. Key management strategies include:
Diet

Focus on eating heart-healthy foods. Avoid or limit foods high in saturated and trans fats

Exercise

Aim for at least 150 minutes (2.5 hours) of moderate activity per week

Quit Smoking

Smoking can worsen cholesterol levels and increase heart disease risk.

Limit Alcohol

Drinking in moderation or cutting back on alcohol can improve cholesterol levels.

Take Control of Your Health

High cholesterol is a manageable condition, and making small, sustainable changes to your lifestyle can have a big impact on your heart health. Regular check-ups and working with your doctor to monitor your cholesterol levels are essential steps toward reducing your risk of heart disease and stroke.
