Partner with your doctor – for life.
What’s the best thing you can do for your HDL cholesterol health? Talk to your doctor. Your doctor, or other healthcare provider, can be your partner and adviser. Among many other things, your doctor can:
-
Teach you about HDL cholesterol and how
it affects
your health.
-
Help determine what your HDL level is by performing
a blood test.
-
Advise you on how diet and exercise
can help improve
your HDL, LDL and triglyceride levels.
-
If needed – explain treatment options which may
include medication.
-
Answer any question you may have about cholesterol
and triglycerides, like:
- — What are my HDL, LDL and triglyceride numbers?
- — Are my numbers at a healthy level for me?
- — What lifestyle changes should I make to raise my HDL?
- — When should I have my cholesterol and triglycerides retested?
- — What are my risk factors for heart disease?
- — Does my family history matter?
