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.

Hi, I recently did a regular health check up, and my LDL cholesterol is high. I have attached the report for reference. Could you please advise whether I should consult a doctor for further evaluation, or can I try lifestyle modifications for some time before seeking medical advice?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I recently received my blood test report, and I noticed that some of the values, specifically Cholesterol, CHCM, MCV, MCH, and MCHC are slightly outside the normal range. I would like to understand what these results mean and if they indicate any health concerns.
