I've borderline high cholesterol and I'm not even middle age. Think my endocrinologist said it could be genetic, given how I know almost nothing of my family medical history, or my own medical history. I aren't sure since research also shows antidepressants and antipsychotics can affect cholesterol.

I don't get tests every year because of how expensive it is, but I should probably ask my endocrinologist the next time I see her on my iron and hormone levels.
