Doctor, my wife's cholesterol level remains high. She is taking the prescribed medications as well. However, she has no control over her food habits. Doctor please tell me are there any complications of high cholesterol levels?

Yes, high cholesterol levels come up with various complications and these can be life threatening as well. High cholesterol deposits in large amounts at the wall of your arteries and reduces your blood flow. This can cause complications such as heart attack, strokes, and severe chest pain leading to heart attack.
