One month back, I experienced a blackout while sitting in a bus. The doctor prescribed medicine after seeing high cholesterol: ROSEDAY 10. The doctor advised me to revisit after one month with an echo, lipid profile, and HUTT test. I am fine now. Please advise what I should do next?

One blackout with high cholesterol may point to early cardiovascular strain. Good to follow the doctors advice. Echo checks heart function, lipid profile checks cholesterol, and HUTT can assess fainting cause. Continue meds and follow up is key. Please get the following tests done Lipid profile, 2D Echo, HUTT test, LFT.

Take a Lipid Profile Test Test or Take a LFT (Liver Function) Test Test

I am 25 years old and not doing heavy work, just office work. Sometimes I get pain in my left chest when I feel afraid or panic. During the pain, I do not have sweating or breathing problems. May I know why this happens? Is it due to cholesterol or something else?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

On 25 October, some of my blood report values were high. I want to do blood tests for cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, and homocysteine.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My blood report shows raised cholesterol values. Total cholesterol 221, triglycerides 224, LDL 159, VLDL 44.8, HDL 35. Is there any need for medicine for these values?
