Waiting time?

[Lyngal]

Hi can anybody tell me the approx waiting time for a first appointment at a lipid clinic (I know it will differ in different regions) 5 weeks ago I was told my chlorestal was high 9.7 so I was referred to the hospital but I'm still waiting..

If you haven't had any communication then chase them to make sure they received it. In many areas it is electronic bookings / referrals.

Unfortunately where I live in South wales, it seems to be sometime. I have CVD, 5 stents in my heart and have had side affects from all the Statins my doctors has prescribed. I was put on the Lipid clinic waiting list approximately 7 months ago and I am still waiting. I have raised the wait time issue numerous times with my doctor as well with no resolution. I hope you get your appointment soon.

While waiting for appointment are you on any medication or on a life style change, regular exercise, watching on free sugar and hidden sugar.

Food and drinks intake control is necessary for a healthy life.

Hi for some strange reason no medication and to be honest my diet is a healthy one with lots of fruit ,little red meat but lots of chicken and all different types of fish. And I wouldn't thank you for anything sweet. Exercise not that much but I am running around a busy kitchen from 7 am until 2pm and I don't stop and by the time I come home and start preparing tea .
