Hi doctor,
I got my lipid test done. My cholesterol was 224 and LDL was 124. After how long should I get the test again? Please guide.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Usually, lipid profile has to be repeated once in every 6 months to 12 months.
- Your low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is not that bad.
- Do you have any other medical conditions like diabetes, heart problems, stroke and issues with veins or high blood pressure?
- If yes, then you should be on cholesterol medication.
- If not, then you should be able to reduce your cholesterol with diet and exercise monitoring.
