Mediclinic Kelly Baron, high blood pressureand high cholesterol are early warning signsof the risk of a heart attack or stroke.Baron says through the two simple choles-

terol and blood pressure tests a person’s lifecan be saved by determining whether theselevels are too high.Risk factors such as high blood pressure

and cholesterol are commonly referred to aslifestyle conditions as they are often causedbystress,baddietandotheraspectsofmodernliving. Both are also knownas “silent killers”because they can lead to heart attacks andstrokes without any warning.According to Baron most people suffering

from high cholesterol feel perfectly healthy,andwill onlyknowwhether theyhave choles-terol or high blood pressure problems if theyare tested. Ideally a healthy person’s choles-terol level should be less than five mmol.Ahealthybloodpressurehoversaroundthe

120/80 mark, while a reading of 140/90 orabove is considered hypertensive or veryhigh.Baron says high blood pressure and high

cholesterol are easy to manage if the personare aware of their levels. These she says canbe lowered through lifestyle changes suchdiet and exercise, or prescribed medicationin more severe cases. For more informationphone Kelly Baron on 021 850 9000.
