Cholesterol Screening
Protect Your Heart — Check Your Cholesterol Before Problems Start
What Is a Cholesterol Screening?
A Cholesterol Screening is a blood test that measures the levels of fats (lipids) in your blood. These fats—especially LDL cholesterol and triglycerides—can build up silently over time, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, and blocked arteries.
At Regis Medical, we provide fast, accurate cholesterol testing with doctor consultation, so you understand what your numbers mean—and what to do next.
What Does the Test Include?
Our Lipid Profile includes:
Total Cholesterol – The overall cholesterol level in your blood
LDL (“Bad” Cholesterol) – High levels increase risk of heart disease
HDL (“Good” Cholesterol) – Higher levels are protective
Triglycerides – Another type of fat; elevated levels raise cardiovascular risk
Cholesterol Ratio – Assesses risk more accurately than total cholesterol alone
Why Is Cholesterol Screening Important?
High cholesterol is often called a “silent risk factor”—you won’t feel it until it’s too late. Regular screening can help you:
Identify hidden cardiovascular risk
Monitor effects of lifestyle or medications
Prevent heart attacks, stroke, and arterial disease
Track progress over time if you’re on cholesterol-lowering therapy
Who Should Get a Cholesterol Test?
Cholesterol testing is recommended if you:
Are aged 30 and above (earlier if you have risk factors)
Have a family history of heart disease or stroke
Have high blood pressure, diabetes, or are overweight
Smoke or live a sedentary lifestyle
Are on a high-fat or high-carb diet
Are taking medication for cholesterol or high blood pressure
Just want a baseline check as part of a general health screening
Symptoms? Often None. But Watch For:
Chest discomfort or tightness
Shortness of breath during mild activity
Leg cramps when walking
Family history of early cardiac disease
Yellowish fatty deposits around eyelids or joints (xanthomas)
Even if you feel healthy, high cholesterol may be quietly affecting your arteries.
