Is high cholesterol hereditary? My heart rate is very high; what should I do? How can I purify my blood, and what precautions should I take against heart attacks?
Yes, cholesterol can be hereditary, meaning it can run in families even if your diet and lifestyle are healthy. A high heartbeat (palpitations) can result from stress, anxiety, thyroid issues, heart problems, or certain medications. To prevent a heart attack, eat a heart-healthy diet (low in fat, sugar, and salt), exercise regularly, avoid smoking and alcohol, manage stress, and take prescribed medicines regularly. If you feel chest pain, breathlessness, or dizziness, seek immediate medical help.
