Questions to Ask Your Health Care Provider
It can be hard to know where to start when thinking about ways to improve your health, especially where talking to a health care professional is concerned. With so much health information available, focusing on what's most important to discuss can feel a little overwhelming. So, we've created a list of "Questions to Ask Your Health Care Professional".
Use some or all of these questions to get the information you need about your health, your risk factors for specific diseases and how to prevent them.
- What is my overall risk for heart disease? Can we review my risk factors?
- Why do I keep hearing about "good" and "bad" cholesterol? What are they?
- What are triglycerides? What do they have to do with cholesterol?
- Will you explain the results of my cholesterol test?
- If I have high LDL cholesterol, what lifestyle and dietary changes can I make to lower it?
