High Cholesterol Treatment in San Antonio, TX

What Is High Cholesterol and Why Does It Matter?

Cholesterol is a fat in your blood that your body needs, but too much can clog arteries and raise your risk of heart disease or stroke. Think of your arteries like pipes—too much buildup slows the flow. Since high cholesterol has no symptoms, routine check-ups are the only way to catch it early.

Preventing Complications from High Cholesterol

If left untreated, high cholesterol can lead to heart attacks, strokes, and blocked arteries. The good news? Healthy eating, exercise, and the right treatment can lower your risk. At Medberry Primary Care, we focus on prevention and long-term heart health.
