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.
Less than 200 mg/dL: desirable. 200-239 mg/dL: borderline high risk. 240 and over: high risk. HDL (high density lipoprotein) is considered the good cholesterol because it may help decrease the cholesterol buildup in the walls of arteries that causes narrowing of their openings.
