Patient's question:
I've been experiencing frequent dizziness lately, and I can't seem to eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's a blood-related issue. Could you please advise on how to alleviate high cholesterol and triglycerides?Doctor's answer:
Having elevated cholesterol and triglycerides is a typical symptom of hyperlipidemia, which can easily lead to the recurrence of atherosclerosis and plaque formation, resulting in blood vessel narrowing and cardiovascular diseases. Firstly, it is important to pay attention to diet, with a focus on a light diet. Avoid greasy foods and fried foods. Additionally, do not consume high-cholesterol foods. It is also necessary to take lipid-lowering medications, such as simvastatin or atorvastatin.
