Understanding High Cholesterol
High cholesterol, or hyperlipidemia, is a condition where there are elevated levels of cholesterol in the blood, which can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, or other cardiovascular issues if not managed properly. Whether you're running low on your current medication or seeking a new prescription, Teldoc’s telehealth service connects you with licensed doctors to help you maintain healthy cholesterol levels with ease, if clinically appropriate.
Why Treatment Matters
Managing high cholesterol is critical to reducing the risk of serious complications. Untreated high cholesterol can lead to plaque buildup in arteries, increasing the risk of heart attack or stroke. Our Teldoc telehealth platform makes it simple to consult with a licensed doctor who can assess your condition, arrange pathology testing, and renew your prescription, or recommend a new treatment plan if you're starting for the first time, if clinically appropriate.
Do I Need Cholesterol Medication?
Medication may be necessary if your cholesterol levels are consistently high or if you have other risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of heart disease. Our doctors will evaluate your health to determine the best treatment plan. Key considerations include:
- Elevated total cholesterol levels or elevated LDL levels ("bad" cholesterol).
- Presence of risk factors such as obesity, smoking, or a sedentary lifestyle.
- Need for prescription renewals or new prescriptions based on a doctor’s assessment.
Note: Treatment plans are highly individualised. Speak with a Teldoc doctor to find the right approach for you.
