High Cholesterol consultation

High cholesterol is a common health issue that occurs when there is an excess of cholesterol in the blood. Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance produced by the liver and found in certain foods. While the body needs some cholesterol to function, too much can build up in the arteries, leading to heart disease and other serious conditions.

Often, high cholesterol presents no obvious symptoms, making it difficult to detect without a blood test. However, excessive cholesterol can sometimes lead to chest pain (angina), heart attack, or stroke if it contributes to clogged or hardened arteries. It's important to regularly check cholesterol levels, especially if there is a family history of high cholesterol or heart disease.

Treating high cholesterol typically involves a combination of lifestyle changes and medication. Dietary adjustments such as avoiding trans fats, reducing saturated fats, and eating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help lower cholesterol levels. Regular physical activity and maintaining a healthy weight are also beneficial. In some cases, doctors may prescribe medications like statins to help reduce cholesterol. Working with healthcare providers to create a tailored plan can effectively manage and lower high cholesterol.
