What should I do if I have high cholesterol and anemia?

For patients with high cholesterol and anemia, a high quality protein diet is recommended, for example, patients are advised to eat egg whites or red beef and lamb on a regular basis. Anemia should be typed, depending on which type of anemia it is, and then corrected: for example, in iron deficiency anemia, it is recommended that the patient take oral medication such as Lipitor. If it is megaloblastic anemia, it is recommended to take oral folic acid tablets as well as vitamin B12 and other medications. If the anemia is already severe, a combination of blood transfusions may be required if necessary. For people who are anemic and have high cholesterol, they can exercise as much as their condition allows, and they should pay attention to stop smoking and drinking, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to help improve this current condition. If cholesterol is too high, it is recommended to visit a cardiologist, and according to the specialist’s opinion, oral atorvastatin or resulvastatin can be taken to lower the total cholesterol level relatively better.
