Not for emergencies. For severe symptoms, go to the nearest hospital or call 108.
Online consultation for high cholesterol
High cholesterol has no symptoms. Whether it needs treatment depends on your overall heart risk: age, BP, sugar, smoking and family history, not the number alone. Indians tend to get heart disease younger, so the doctor looks at the whole picture and explains the choice between lifestyle changes and medicine.
An online consult can help with
- High LDL, total cholesterol or triglycerides on a report
- Deciding whether you need a statin
- Side effects or doubts about a cholesterol medicine
- A strong family history of early heart disease
- Diet and exercise advice for cholesterol
See a doctor in person if
- Trouble breathing, chest pain, fainting, confusion or a seizure: go to the nearest emergency department or call 108.
- Chest pain or tightness, at rest or on walking, especially with sweating or breathlessness
- Sudden weakness of one side, slurred speech or loss of vision
- Triglycerides above 500 mg/dL with severe upper tummy pain
