What to do with high cholesterol?

For high blood lipids and elevated cholesterol, diet control should be carried out, and statins should be added if necessary. For elevated blood lipids, the type of high blood lipids should be observed first. If cholesterol levels are mainly elevated, cholesterol and LDL cholesterol are easy to cause atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is the basis of coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction and other diseases. Therefore, we must pay attention to it, eat less fatty foods, exercise more, and regularly review the changes in blood lipids. If lifestyle interventions do not control cholesterol levels and LDL cholesterol levels ideally, statin drugs should be added for treatment, and liver function and muscle enzymes should be monitored. If triglycerides are mainly elevated, fibrate drugs can be added if necessary.
