17 with high cholesterol!! what do i do???
i have no idea what any of this means lol! also i have high blood pressure (140/90) not sure if that's related at all tho!
the results said my total cholesterol levels are 231 mg/dL (says normal value is less than 170), and LDL is 147 mg/dL (says normal value less than 110). also lmk if you need any more numbers, again idk what any of this stuff means
could this just be from my diet growing up? i think i ate pretty bad. i have no idea if it's genetic or not, i thought maybe i should go to the doctor or something to see, but my parents say it's kinda pointless and i should just watch what i eat and exercise instead.
i'm also a bit terrified of going to the doctor, so i don't really want to 😭😭
i'm also trying to lose weight (i'm slightly overweight), i'm eating in a calorie deficit and planning on being more active soon!
