is high cholesterol level chronic or curable,does it bring insomnia and is it he!
Question:
Answers:
High cholesterol levels are certainly controllable. There are many types of familial high cholesterol conditions, but these too can be brought under control. Any sensible "cholesterol-busting" plan should begin with diet modification and excercise regimen. Fish oil mentioned above is an excellent first pharmaceutical intervention. If these don't work, there are several types of medications to try next. If high LDL is a problem statin drugs like Lipitor are tried. THese need to be started under the care of a physician, as simple blood tests are needed to monitor liver function. If low HDL (good cholesterol) is the problem, excercise is the best way to bring it up. If that doesn't work, there are other meds to help that too. The current suggested cholesterol goal depends on the risk profile, but the science is moving towards LDL of 80-100. That is not in the guidelines yet, but will be within next two years (the data is out there.American Heart Association just needs to meet up on the topic and issue new recommendations. If they dont go with the 80-100 goal, that is only because of the compliance issues. They are afraid to put goals out there that may be construed as unattainable). HDL level should be above 40. In most cases you can achieve all that with proper diet, excercise and meds, no matter what the genetic background is. Good luck!
