Bad cholesterol.

[DBtheProdigy]

My cholesterol is hovering somewhere in the 250's . I don't really eat that much junk, I run 3 times a week. I don't know why its so high. Got any suggestions to help keep it down??? Keep in mind im only 14.

Re: Bad cholesterol.

did you eat anything bad within 12-24 hours of going to the doctors? I once ate mcdonalds right before going to the doctors, and they told me not to eat anything else for the next 12 hours so they could check my cholesterol again.

I had to fast for 12 hours for my cholesterol test last week. Mandatory, yearly lab work.

I just slept it off and went in before lunch.

Stop sleep eating. That'll solve all of your problems.

Seriously though, take Loki's advise and see a doctor about it. While us at the pavilion are all expert physicians, you might want to... not rely on us for medical help. If your cholesterol is that high at your age and you aren't lying about your diet then see one now. Come on, boy, sprint!

Re: Bad cholesterol.

Your doctor didn't give you any advice?

Or recommend to see a nutritionist?

He was just like, "Look kid. You're cholesterol is through the roof. Just thought you'd like to know. Now get out."

I think eating oatmeal is good for that.

Did they know what you booked the appointment for? It seems like a waste of time and money to not tell you to fast the first time.
