high cholesterol and birth control Posted: 03-26-08 02:12am
please bare with me
my doctor just recently told me that i
have high cholesterol, apparently pretty
high considering my age (im 20). not ever
being exposed to any of this, i'm worried
out of my mind.
i've been doing as much research i can
about what could happen, but i'm still a
bit... nervous.
i would assume my young as is just a
benefit, i should have plenty of time to
fix this?
and i don't know if this is maybe too much
info but i am wondering how this is going
to effect another thing im trying to fix
as well, which is they put me on birth
control to more or less even things out
because as it is now i cannot get
pregnant. will i have to stop taking my
BC, or should i have been put on it in the
first place?
thank you for your time

There should be no problem with you taking
bc. This does not affect your cholesterol
levels. Diet, exercise, and medications
are used to treat high cholesterol. Be
sure to check with your doctor.
