Doctors For Cholesterol In Swat

Cholesterol meaning in Urdu is "کولیسٹرول". It is a waxy, fat-like substance found in your blood. Your body needs some cholesterol to build cells, hormones, and vitamin D, but too much of it can build up in your blood vessels and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Cholesterol is carried through the blood by two main types of lipoproteins: LDL (low-density lipoprotein, also called "bad" cholesterol) and HDL (high-density lipoprotein, also called "good" cholesterol). 

High cholesterol usually has no symptoms, which is why a blood test is the only way to know your levels. It is common in Pakistan, where heart disease is one of the leading causes of death.
