Did you know that high cholesterol doesn’t typically present with symptoms? The good news is that a provider can perform a simple blood test to determine your cholesterol and help you lower your levels if necessary. You can even have a test done as part of your annual physical. Schedule a visit with your primary care provider if you don’t know your cholesterol levels. Don’t have a PCP? Give us a call at 800.424.DOCS or visit the Find a Doctor tab at YourProvidenceHealth.com/ to make an appointment.
