what happens if lipid profile is high - #19882
I am really worried about my recent lipid profile test. My doctor mentioned that the results were higher than normal, and I feel so confused about what happens if lipid profile is high. They said something about cholesterol levels, but honestly, I wasn’t paying attention when they explained it all. I’ve been feeling tired and having these weird pains in my chest, not sure if it's all connected? I do have a family history of heart disease, which makes me even more anxious. I used to eat a lot of fried food and processed stuff, but I've been trying to improve my diet for the past six months, cutting down on the junk. Still, my results didn’t change much. I mean, I thought those changes were supposed to help? Does a high lipid profile automatically mean I’m at risk for heart problems? I read that lifestyle changes and medication can help, but I don’t know where to start. Seriously, what happens if lipid profile is high? Should I be doing something urgent or wait until my next appointment? I’m just so lost and could really use some advice!
