High Cholesterol Treatment in Johor Bahru

Kolesterol Tinggi

High cholesterol is a major cardiovascular risk factor affecting millions of Malaysians, largely driven by dietary habits rich in saturated fats and lack of exercise. Elevated LDL cholesterol leads to plaque buildup in arteries, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Symptoms of High Cholesterol

Usually no symptoms until complications develop
Yellowish deposits around eyes (xanthelasma)
Chest pain or angina (if arteries are narrowed)
Fatty bumps on tendons (xanthomas)
Leg pain while walking (peripheral artery disease)
Sudden numbness or weakness (stroke warning)

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

All adults over 30 should have a lipid profile test at least every 5 years. Test more frequently if you have diabetes, hypertension, family history of heart disease, are overweight, or smoke.
