Managing High Cholesterol Levels: What You Need to Know
Patient's Query
High blood cholesterol. My cholesterol total is 249 mg/dl. HDL-C Is 39 mg/dl. LDL-C Is 126 mg/dl. VLDL Cholesterol is 84 mg/dl. Triglycerides is 418 mg/dl.
Answered by Dr. Bhaskar Semitha
Having cholesterol levels above 240mg/l means you are at a very high risk of heart complications. Immediately adopt a healthy diet low in saturated and trans fats, exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, quit smoking if applicable, and consult a cardiologist for medication if necessary.
