Patient's question:
I have been suffering from high blood lipid for many years and have always paid attention to diet. I also exercise frequently. Recently, during a physical examination, I found that my blood lipid levels have become more severe than before. Why does high blood lipid rebound? In addition to paying attention to diet and exercise, what else should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
You currently have hyperlipidemia, and your dietary habits have been well-controlled. You have also focused on enhancing exercise, but your blood lipid levels still do not reach the normal range. This suggests that you should take lipid-lowering medication for treatment. You should choose the appropriate lipid-lowering medication based on the levels of elevated cholesterol and triglycerides. If your primary issue is elevated cholesterol, you can take statin-based lipid-lowering medication. If your elevated triglycerides are more significant, you can take fibrates-based lipid-lowering medication.
