I went to the doctor last week for the first time in many years. Had a couple of issues that I felt like I needed to get looked at, that would require equipment that you don’t have at home. First time with this doctor, but my son had seen him in the early phases of COVID. He actually told my son to not get the vax because there were too many questions about it still. My BP was high, as was my cholesterol. He said “eat better, exercise more, and lose weight”. No pills or referrals to doctor friends. There may be a few out there that are still using common sense.
Check out the results all of your cholesterol levels, not just the total cholesterol, also look at HDLs, triglycerides and LDLs. My total cholesterol is really high, but my cholesterol/HDLC ratio is just fine, it’s less than 5 which means a lower risk of heart disease. A ratio of 3.5 is even better and that’s what I’m shooting for, “eat better, exercise more and lose weight” applies to me as well. It sounds like you have a really good doctor fren.
