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.
