More resources for communicating with your doctor

In my previous two blogs, I shared Tips for making the most of your doctor's appointment and Questions to ask when shopping for a new doctor. Today, I have even more resources for you.

The American Heart Association has an extensive list of questions to ask your doctor, including these questions about blood cholesterol:

  • What do my cholesterol numbers mean?
  • What is my goal cholesterol level?
  • How often should I have my levels checked?
  • How does exercise affect my cholesterol levels?
  • What type of foods should I eat?
  • Will I need cholesterol-lowering medicine?
  • How long will it take to reach my cholesterol goals?

Another good resource is called Questions to ask you doctor (for women). Select from a list of over 100 conditions and treatments for a specific list of questions.
