Heart Health & Cholesterol

Risk assessment, cholesterol management and preventive care.

Most heart attacks are preventable. Blood pressure, cholesterol, sugar, smoking and family history together decide your risk — and that risk can be lowered years before any symptom appears.

What patients often report

  • Chest discomfort or heaviness on exertion
  • Breathlessness on routine activity
  • Palpitations or an irregular pulse
  • Swelling of the feet or ankles

How it is assessed

  • ECG, blood pressure and BMI
  • Full lipid profile and blood sugar
  • Family history and lifestyle review
  • Echocardiography or stress testing when indicated

How care is usually structured

  • Statin and other medication where appropriate
  • Practical diet, walking and sleep targets
  • Smoking and alcohol counselling with real follow-up
  • Coordinated referral for cardiology procedures

When to seek urgent care

  • Chest pain lasting more than a few minutes
  • Pain spreading to the arm, jaw or back
  • Sudden sweating, nausea or fainting with chest pain

If any of these apply, go to the nearest hospital or call emergency services — do not wait for a routine appointment.
