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.
Not all cholesterol is created equal. HDL, or high density lipoprotein, is known as good cholesterol. This is a very beneficial cholesterol to have in high levels, as it carries the fat through the blood and prevents it from depositing on you arteries. Bad cholesterol is known as LDL or low density lipoprotein.
