[|Human|] Hello. I am a 23 year old male. I haven t worked out in a couple months because I began feeling this pressure in my head when bending over or standing up to fast. I would also get light headed and feel the need to faint when standing up. Anyway, My cholesterol reading were: HDL: 33 TRIG: 45, Total 187. LDL was N/A but I am guessing they are around 140. I am very worried that I have clogged arteries somewhere and this is why I am getting this head pressure. When I took my cholesterol a year ago, it was 209 total, with a 59 HDL and 127 LDL. Triglicerydes were normal. Could this new shift in cholesterol be the reason why I am having these problems? Do I have some clogged arteries? Please help. P.S. And MRI of my head was normal.
[|AI|]  Hello thanks for posting here. High cholesterol for a long. Term duration leads to deposition of cholesterol in the arteries of the heart and other organs leading to clogged arteries. However, it is a gradual process and going by your age it seems unlikely that you have clogged arteries. These symptoms can be related to high blood pressure, internal ear issues and also in cervical(neck) spine problems. Please check your BP, get your ear checked up for internal ear issues and do an MRI of the cervical spine(if not already done) If all these three are normal, then you need not worry about your symptoms, they may disappear soon. Also, your cholesterol levels are not very high for your age to be concerned of. Wishing you good health. Regards
