High Cholesterol Treatment in Saudi Arabia

High Cholesterol, medically known as hypercholesterolemia, is a condition where there are elevated levels of cholesterol in the blood. Cholesterol is a waxy substance that your body needs to build cells, but excess levels can lead to the formation of plaques in the arteries. These plaques can restrict blood flow, increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease, heart attack, and stroke. High cholesterol can be inherited, but it’s often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices, making it both preventable and treatable.

High cholesterol typically does not cause any symptoms on its own, which is why it is often referred to as a "silent" condition. Many people may not know they have high cholesterol until they experience a serious event like a heart attack or stroke. Regular blood tests measuring lipid profiles are usually the only way to detect it. The absence of symptoms means that high cholesterol can silently contribute to the gradual build-up of fatty deposits in your arteries, leading to reduced blood flow and other complications over time.

Treatment for high cholesterol usually involves a combination of lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and medications. Lifestyle changes include increased physical activity, achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, and quitting smoking. A heart-healthy diet that is low in saturated fat and trans fats can help manage blood cholesterol levels. Medications such as statins, bile-acid-binding resins, and others may also be prescribed to help lower cholesterol levels. Regular monitoring and check-ups with a healthcare provider are essential to manage the condition effectively and reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events.
