I missed the first post, but I am childbearing age and have had high
cholesterol since my 20's.....

So I think screening of women who are of the age with a significant risk
factor, my moms and grandma had high cholesterol, is acceptable and
advisable.

Interesting enough, my cholesterol was higher when breastfeeding.....
