LDL cholesterol, often called the "bad" cholesterol, is a type of fat found in your blood. Having high levels of LDL cholesterol can lead to health issues like heart disease. Your body needs cholesterol to function properly. However, too much LDL cholesterol can cause problems. It can build up in the walls of your arteries, clogging them, causing narrowing and stiffness. This can lead to heart problems and increase your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.

Managing a chronic condition might seem overwhelming, but with the right tools and advice, it can be much easier. Here’s how you can monitor your condition:

• 1. Regular Check-ups & Blood Tests

  Schedule an appointment with our Online Doctors for assessments who can advise you further on how frequently you should check your cholesterol lab tests, and how to titrate your statin dosages.

• 2. Lifestyle Modifications

  Exercise, Smoking Cessation, Weight loss, DASH Diet, Increase Fibre Intake, Limit Alcohol, Reduce Saturated Fats & Trans Fats 

• 3. Medication Compliance

  The most commonly prescribed medicines that help reduce our LDL-Cholesterol levels are Statins. The common ones prescribed are Simvastatin, Atorvastatin, Rosuvastatin (in order of increasing potency). High cholesterol does not usually present with symptoms - and therefore being asymptomatic does not mean that you can stop taking your medicines. Being regular and compliant with your cholesterol medicines, will help protect you from serious health complications like a heart attack or stroke.
