I had some ordinary blood tests last week. The doctor has called me to visit him after that. I knew that something was wrong. He said that I have increased level of cholesterol in blood. He said it is bad cholesterol. When I came back I have been wondering what is bad cholesterol, and what it can do.
It is common expression for LDL cholesterol. There are two types of cholesterol, the bad cholesterol LDL and the good cholesterol HDL. The bad cholesterol can cause serious damage to your blood arteries and your heart. The great amounts of cholesterol can deposit on artery walls. After some time they can narrow the arteries so much that the blood flow can experience difficulty. It can be great burden for the heart.
