Anyone else with very low cholesterol?

Hi Emily!

I have every low cholesterol as well. Also low BP and I am hypoglycemic. I have not read the article yet, but will. I had my gallbladder removed about a decade ago. My doctor has not been concerned. My husband's is the opposite, he may qualify as a solid. We eat mainly the same things, huge difference is I exercise and he does not, or at least not to the extent I exercise. I have had a stroke but my cholesterol levels were not questioned. It gives me something to ask my doctor about next visit.

Hi Jennifer,

Was your stroke classified as hemorrhagic? I think I read that this type of stroke makes up only about 20% of strokes. I thought it was interesting to read that you also had low cholesterol and had had a stroke at a fairly young age.

I think there are a lot of genetics involved in cholesterol too -- my mom, who is overweight and never exercises, has low cholesterol as well, though not as low as mine.

Thanks,
Emily
