FAQs

A fatty substance found in blood is called cholesterol; it’s essential for producing hormones and building cells. It comes in two main types: low-density lipoprotein (LDL), often referred to as bad cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL), known as maintained cholesterol. Cholesterol helps the human body to make hormones, Vitamin D, and cell membranes. There are no visible symptoms of cholesterol, hence, it’s suggested to get regular testing, and never miss high cholesterol medications.

190 mg/dL or higher is considered dangerously high cholesterol. High cholesterol can lead to the buildup of plaques in arteries, increasing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other heart diseases. The management of cholesterol levels is crucial for maintaining cardiovascular health.

Effective lifestyle changes that can help with high cholesterol treatment include:

High Cholesterol Medications: Regular intake of medication and symptom monitoring.

Eating a heart-healthy diet: Focus on foods low in saturated and trans fats while increasing intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats.

Regular physical activity: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week to help raise HDL cholesterol levels.

Maintaining a healthy weight: Losing even a small amount of weight can help lower LDL cholesterol.

Quitting smoking: This can improve HDL levels and overall heart health.

Limiting alcohol consumption: Drink in moderation if you choose to consume alcohol.

Managing high cholesterol often requires prescribed medications especially when dietary changes alone are not sufficient. Common high-cholesterol medications include:
Statins, Ezetimibe, PCSK9 inhibitors, bile-acid resins, niacin, and fibrates may also be prescribed depending on individual health needs.

In addition to regular intake of high cholesterol medications, it’s vital to monitor the level of cholesterol levels. Adults should have their cholesterol checked at least every 2 to 4 years. However, those with risk factors for heart disease or a family history of cholesterol condition may need more frequent testing.
