Understanding Cholesterol Management — Your GP's Guide
High cholesterol increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. It rarely causes symptoms, so a simple blood test is the only way to check. Diet, exercise and medication all help lower cholesterol.

Comprehensive Cholesterol Management: Treatments, Timelines, and Truths
What is cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a fatty substance made by the liver and found in some foods. LDL ("bad") cholesterol clogs arteries; HDL ("good") cholesterol helps remove it.
When to seek medical advice
Ask for a cholesterol test if you are over 40, have a family history of early heart disease, or have conditions like diabetes. NHS Health Checks include this.
Available treatments
Statins (atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, simvastatin) are first-line. Ezetimibe, bempedoic acid, PCSK9 inhibitors and inclisiran are used when statins are not enough or not tolerated.
What to expect
Statins lower LDL within weeks. Side effects such as muscle aches affect a minority and often settle or resolve with a different statin.
Self-care
Cut saturated fat, eat plenty of oats, nuts, pulses and oily fish, stay active, keep a healthy weight, stop smoking and drink within low-risk limits.
