Beth's story
High cholesterol stole my Dad from us when he was age 34 and by all accounts made him feel very unwell during his life. We will never know how much he suffered but we know he had many mini heart attacks as there was so much scarring on his heart. I can’t put into words how the loss of my Dad has affected us all.
My cholesterol was picked when I was age 7 because of severe migraines. My cholesterol was 11 then. My Sister was also checked and she had slightly raised cholesterol. By age 30, no amount of dieting or exercise seemed to lower my cholesterol. Given my family history, HEART UK’s helpline nurse advised me to ask my GP for a referral which I did and then I went on statins. The rest is history. Getting a genetic confirmation helped my family accept that there was a real problem that could be helped with medication.
