The answer to both is YES.
Yes, it can be a hereditary problem. But only 5 per cent is hereditary. Ninety-five per cent of the times, cholesterol increases because of dietary or lifestyle disturbances.
High Cholesterol can cause many other things
Coronary heart disease (CHD)is caused by cholesterol and fat being deposited in the walls of the arteries that supply nutrients and oxygen to your heart. Like any muscle, the heart needs a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients, which are carried to it by the blood in the coronary arteries.
Fixed narrowing that is often calcified (hardened) usually cause Angina(chest pain).
Less severe narrowing may contain unstable blockages called Atherosclerotic or fatty plaque.
Unstable atherosclerotic plaque can rupture, resulting in clot formation, no blood flow, and a heart attack.
Abnormal cholesterol ratio also plays a significant role in pancreatitis,Stones in Gall bladder and Kidneys
