OK, I have lyme disease and other well known diseases that cause all sorts of problems. Well, my cholesterol was ok for a very long time never had a problem then when I finanly got my divorce (through the process and ending) and it went to 300, then in about 2 months time 550. I know that the divorce was very stresfull due to the abuse and a lot of threats from him, but I did not eat horribly just slept more. I know that the lack of exercise prob did me in, but whew!! Any of you have this problem?

That is way too much of an increase in a short time. Were your checkups at 3 months or 6 months? What does yur doctor think? Mine was not happy with my levels last time and has me taking a Omega 3 Fish Oil pill twice a day. I go soon for another blood work to see if it helped any. I am already taking Lipitor and he's trying to prevent increasing the dosage. If you were exercising a lot and then just stopped I would think that would have a lot to do with it. I have a co-worker that walks daily and when she was ill a lot for a few and couldn't walk daily her cholesterol went up. Once she was back to her daily walks it went down.
Do you havea heart health issue history in your family? IF so I hope your doctor knows. I do, that is why he watchs that cloesly.
Take Care.
