LDL is a little high and Lp(a) is a lot higher. I went to see a cardiologist and he said he can't prescribe me any medicine for high Lp(a) alone. He asked me to do ECG, Ecocardiography and stress test as my blood pressure was normal and i don't have any chest pain. I did some research & found out that there is a medicine called PCSK9 inhibitors that can directly reduce Lp(a) to about 40-50%. Iam looking for a doctor who can give me proper knowledge about Lp(a) and the things I can do reduce Lp(a) directly.
I have a question,
Q) Can regular blood donations reduce Lp(a) levels in blood?
