High Cholesterol
 

Had my blood work done Monday, get a call from the doctors office at 5:30 stating they need to talk to me ASAP, but would not tell me what about. SOB's had me thinking the worst all night, BS to say the least.

Ended up being high cholesterol, and when I say high I mean like 740's. I am 32, seems like something could be off, but they are giving me meds and told me to diet for 3 months and would check again.

Anyone dealt with this shit before? I know I need to get back in shape. Don't like salads, or much fruit. Any advise would be great.

I had high cholosterol 2 years ago and started on the Centrum Cardio, which has something in it to reduce cholsterol. It worked pretty well. I'm not the most active in the world, but I do work out.

740? I didn't know it went that high.

Dude, let's forget the ribs and brisket for a while and get you some smoked chicken recipes!

Stay away from fried foods and lose weight, also the night before they re-check you blood work drink a beer or two it helps to lower your readings.

Mine was at 300'something and I thought it was through the roof.

700?!?! Are you on the all-fast-food diet all the time or what?!?

really? never heard this before.

i've been taking lipitor for about 8-10 years.
sec

:evil: I am a meat and taters kind of guy

Is Milk bad? I drink at least a gallon a day (skim-1%)

I'm not sure this is something you'd want to cheat on :shrug:

Also...740?! I'd double-check that. I was told mine was slightly elevated at 210. Maybe CP needs to have a 'Biggest Loser' thread, Cholesterol edition.

Ask your doctor if Beer is right for you.

Yeah I know, I mean I know I don't eat the healthiest but not THAT bad. I didn't realize how high it actually was until I started talking to other people.

Say hello to Crestor........

Hint, drop the french dries and fast foods, all fatty foods.

ROFL:clap:

Yeah that's what it was, she said it was crazy high for anyone especially someone of my age. She said she wanted around 150-200

If your cholesterol is 740, you are the freaking king of meat and taters.....with extra butter on the taters!

Seriously, that 740 can't be right.....can it? Supposedly, 220 or higher is too high.


Edit: Ok, I just read the previous post. If my doc says anything about my cholesterol, I'm showing him this thread.

No thats what it is
