Getting Off Medication Against Doctor's Advice Can Lead To Heart Disease
The New Indian Express
|November 26, 2024
GEORGE (name changed), from Cherthala in Kerala, was 41 when he found out he has high cholesterol during a routine health checkup.
He was working in Dubai. Being the youngest member in a family with a strong history of cardiac disease - his father and two elder brothers had heart attacks - he was started on medicines to lower his cholesterol. "He was not obese but slightly overweight, so I suggested he take lifelong statin therapy as there is a dominant genetic risk besides dyslipidemia. However, he stopped taking his medicines as he found that his cholesterol levels came down after a few months of treatment and didn't check his cholesterol thereafter," said Dr Blesson Varghese, senior consultant in cardiology at Rajagiri Hospital, Ernakulam.
