Cholesterol is a fatty substance that is found throughout the bloodstream and created by the liver in order to help maintain a fully functioning body, and this is why you need to ensure that your levels are not too high. The higher your cholesterol, the higher your likelihood of having a heart attack or stroke, so you obviously need to try to avoid this as much as possible. The cholesterol blood test we provide is used to measure the cholesterol levels in your body, and determine whether it’s the right level.

It is important to remember that there are no definitive symptoms of high cholesterol, so it is only detectable by a blood test, which makes our tests even more important. But, if you are experiencing symptoms like sudden dizziness, lack of coordination, confusion, and numbness, these could be indicators of high cholesterol, and in this situation you should take a test to be sure.

There are a lot of things that can impact your cholesterol levels, in particular your diet and lifestyle choices. There are two types of cholesterol to be aware of, LDL cholesterol (which is bad), and HDL cholesterol (which is good).

Determining your cholesterol levels is important for figuring out how to improve your health. Around 5 mmol/L (millimoles) or lower is the average level your cholesterol should be, whilst ‘good cholesterol’ (HDL) is typically 1 mmol/L or above, and ‘bad cholesterol’ (LDL) is 4 mmol/L or below. At Official Rapid Tests, our selection of cholesterol blood tests lets you test yourself at home and get the results quickly.

At Official Rapid Tests, we provide an accessible and easy to use range of home testing kits. These kits make the process of home cholesterol testing much more straightforward. If you are out of shape, feel that you have a poor diet, or you’re suffering from things like dizziness and confusion, taking one of our tests is essential.

Fasting for 8 to 12 hours before your blood cholesterol test is important, so make sure you consume nothing but water. It is also advised that you wait at least 6 weeks after any illnesses in order to get the test done.
