View allI've noticed that whenever I do something active, like quickly walking up the stairs, I get out of breath really fast, and my vision kinda goes dark. It's like I have to sit or lie down and breathe deeply for a little while, maybe 5 to 10 minutes, and then things are okay again until I do something physical again. I'm kinda worried about this. What kind of doctor should I see about it, and what could be causing this?

I'm dealing with high cholesterol, and my LDL is 220. I dont really have any physical issues, but I do snore quite a bit. I avoid smoking and drinking, so that's not a factor. Do you think I should see a cardiologist or just a general physician for this cholesterol issue? Also, is medication necessary for my LDL level, or can I simply make some changes to my diet?
For managing high cholesterol, including an LDL level of 220 mgdL, it's advisable to consult a cardiologist, given the significant elevation and the associated cardiovascular risks. A cardiologist can provide a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan. Whether you require medication or can manage your cholesterol through lifestyle changes depends on your overall risk profile, including age, family history, and any other health conditions. Typically, an LDL level of 220 mgdL would warrant the use of statin medications in addition to adopting heart-healthy dietary changes, such as reducing saturated and trans fats, increasing fiber intake, and incorporating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains into your diet.

The patient also has retroviral disease but it's under control just wondering about the best place for this procedure
cardiologist opinion is advised.
