A query regarding cholesterol level.
Dr,
My mother is 45 years old. Her over all cholesterol levels is 243 & LDL cholesterol level lies in 140-159 something. Did this means she has blocks in heart? She faces no other health issues. But becomes fatigue at sometimes and at rate times she says she has chest pains. And also she snores while sleeping! While noticing her snoring I felt she is facing difficulty. Can you give me a proper guidance. I hope rather than a customer service you would give a genuine guidance for this query!

You’ve mentioned your mothers age as 45 , also LDL level is high but that does not directly mean she has blockages but at risk of having so if not controlled adequately
Coming to last part of your question, if you need a genuine guidance and not a “CUSTOMER SERVICE” (according to you) then we need to consult her and listen to her complaints rather than vaguely mentioning chest pain and snoring !
All these complaints when clinically heard by a doctor directly from the patients with further questioning is more reliable and accurate than this !!

Her cholesterol is high that does not mean there is block inside. High cholesterol is a risk factor for forming blocks. If you want to know the blockage then you need to do ECG ECHO and TMT. Also she needs treatment for this high cholesterol. Snoring is altogether different issue. Consult online for further details
