QUOTE(zodius @ Sep 29 2022, 05:15 PM) Hi all, i have my screening report today and discover that my cholesterol level is at super high level at 8.1, doctor tell me that for my level, changing of lifestyle or food will not help much ady, I need to start take medicine. May I know how true is the statement, is it really nth can be done except taking medication? Is that ldl or hdl that’s high? How old are you? Family history of high cholesterol? Race? Doctor a GP/physician/cardiologist? I would suggest if it was a GP, you go to a physician and then a cardiologist first before taking meds for this. Also before going on it, at least try a diet of oats, bananas and soy milk for 2 out of 3 meals for 6 weeks and exercise by brisk walking at least 40 mins per day. Make sure the oats is raw rather than instant oats. |

QUOTE(zodius @ Sep 29 2022, 08:46 PM) Thanks for the advice, this is what i really wanna get advice from. as far as i know, cholesterol medicine need to take in a long period, possible for your whole life. i am just 35 and cant imagine that i need to take medicine for the rest of my life. I am 35 years old Chinese. as far as I know, my family did not have history of high cholesterol, it is the health screening doctor that actually advice me to go for medication. thanks for the advice, gonna start change my life style and food starting this moment. i cannot imagine that i will need to take the medicine to control the cholesterol for the rest of my life. I do know that there is so called "good" and "bad" cholesterol. but i only know which is good and not good today. below is my result for cholesterol. Triglycerides - 2.12 HDL - 1.31 non-HDL - 6.8 LDL - 6.41 Thanks for the advice. as I know, the cholesterol medicine need to be taken in long period, possibly the rest of the life, that's why I treat medicine treatment is the last resort if i have tried everything. Dude, I suggest like others have suggested you take steps to do something about it first. Chinese as a whole don't have history genetic issues that brings about high cholesterol levels and if you don't have a family history then there's zero reason to go on meds at 35, I'd suggest you control your diet and get walking a bit more as it'd be a very rare situation that your condition requires medication. |
