Cholesterol level is high
My total cholesterol level is 244 and ldl is 173. I am getting palpitation while sleeping. Do i need medication or need to follow a diet.
Palpitations have nothing to do with cholesterol. Though your LDL is quite high ,taking medication depends upon your overall risk profile.
