High Cholesterol and anxiety.

Posted by Alison on May 26, 1999, at 0:30:02

Has anyone heard about the effects of anxiety on cholesterol levels? I have heard that when you are very anxious then it can increase the amount of cholesterol in the blood stream (my psychologist told me) I have recently had mine checked and it was very high (7.1 mmol) I found this to be quite distressing as my diet is not what I would call a major contributing factor.
My Dr. told me that many young women (I'm 25) who are on the contraceptive pill have high levels.
Could any one shed any light on anxiety and cholesterol levels ?
