High cholesterol is a common but often silent health condition that can significantly increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other serious medical issues. Many individuals don’t realize they have high cholesterol until it is detected through routine screening. At the office of Dr. Muqeet Siddiqui in Ocoee, FL, we provide proactive screening, personalized treatment, and lifestyle guidance to help patients take control of their heart health.

What is High Cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a fatty substance found in the blood that is necessary for building healthy cells. However, when cholesterol levels—especially LDL (bad cholesterol)—become too high, it can lead to plaque buildup in the arteries, narrowing blood flow and putting strain on the heart.

Risk Factors for High Cholesterol

Several factors can contribute to high cholesterol, including:

• Poor diet (high in saturated fats and processed foods)

• Sedentary lifestyle

• Obesity

• Smoking or excessive alcohol use

• Family history of heart disease or high cholesterol

• Certain medical conditions such as diabetes or thyroid disorders

Symptoms of High Cholesterol

High cholesterol typically has no noticeable symptoms, which is why regular screenings are so important. Left untreated, it can silently increase the risk of cardiovascular complications.
