How dangerous is high cholesterol really?

Hi all,

Just joined this forum but not new to steroids or bodybuilding. I'm 31 this year and have been using basically test, tren and various orals since 21. I never did bloodwork (stupid I know). Recently I went for a blood test and while everything was normal, my LDL was at 400 mg/dL and HDL was 5 mg/DL (horrible I know). Given that I've been on steroids for quite a while, it's fair to say that my cholesterol has probably been at this level for most of the past 10 years.

My question is, how much of a risk is this to my heart? I've recently been learning about how cholesterol can lead to plaque buildup in coronary arteries, causing a heart attack (I never though of this when I started using steroids). Currently, my heart feels fine, other than when I workout very intensely I get some mild chest pressure (a bit of a heavy, squeezing feeling) that goes away when my heart slows down, but I think it's because of the tren rather than any underlying heart issues though.

Open to any and all suggestions about how I should move forward, thanks.
 
puh, those values are brutal imo.
high LDL/low HDL is critical if it is long term imo for CHD.
it you had elevated LDL/reduced HDL for 8-10 weeks a year i would say it is not good but not totally tragic (even if your values are quite horrific tbh) but if it is more or less cronical you will have issues sooner or later
i would try to get a catheter done or a calcium scan done to check your cardiovascular system. Also an Echo wouldnt hurt..

Is a scan really necessary though? From what I understand, if I don't have chest pain it would mean my heart is still fine? If I did have some blockage, but there were no symptoms, then it doesn't really matter right?

not sure if you are trolling or not.
Do you want to wait until it is too late?
I suffer from heart insufficiency stage II-III myself and i can tell you that you do not want that.
Do you know how it feels if you are scared to go to bed every night because you get shortness of breath while lying sometimes? and it destroys you mentally?
Do you know how it feels being scared to workout because you do not know if today will be a good day or if you suffer the day after being almost unable to do anything productive due to non existing energy?

so as long as you dont have a heart attack everything is fine, right? Why did you even take bW

Yea , until you have pain then it's no big deal

Same for cancer too , until you have a grapefruit size tumor on your liver that is getting uncomfortable you're good to go.

Do you have any idea how many people drop dead , literally just fucking fall out from clots , aneurysms and pulmonary embolisms with little to no symptoms.???
 
This guys has to be either
1. A fucking troll
2. An 8 year old kid that got on someone's account
3. The stupidest human EVER!

take your pick 1-3.
 
Not a troll at all, I know I've been reckless with my use and maybe been in denial about the health effects. I'll schedule a full checkup (including scans) as soon as possible.

don't do private blood work. Do it with an actual doctor and listen to him talk to you about your results and your life expectancy if you stay on this track.
 
I was hoping for an actual discussion on how the medical community wants cholesterol levels artificially low......not what I found lol.
 
Obviously even if the doctors are a little ridiculous with their numbers....400 is what...between 2 and 3 times what they want it to be? (In my head 150 is the flag for high? Not sure if that's right).

This has to be one of the stupidest statements I read here. Trust me, in 13 and 1/2 years , I have read some stupid things.
 
OP people are being hard on you, when what you want to hear is you're fine. Your not fine. Take the heat as motivation to go to the Dr and get it fixed don't be stupid.
 
Never in my life I have seen a ldl score of 400 before. I didnt even know thats possible. Hdl of 5 on the other hand is common among oral abusers.
 
Got to be a troll.

Can you post the actual bloods please?

Scanned or images.

Can't i pick all 3?

Lots of people get their first painful chest pains when they get their first heart attack and die. Luckily you are still young where your arteries may not be in the condition where cholesterol can build up easier. Heart pains can start by feeling like indigestion. Have you ever had that symptom.
 
We all make mistakes when we're young. He's here asking for advice and this is a good place to get it.
 
His numbers are very realistic. About 15 years ago I ran Tren only off and on for a two year stretch. Had bloodwork done and my numbers were worse than this kids. LDL was over 500 and HDL in the single digits. I was eating tons of peanut butter during this time and chalked it up to the diet and Tren. I stopped both and rechecked bloodwork six months later. Results were completely normal. I recommend you do the same.
