Can I drink before a cholesterol test?!


Question:

Can I drink before a cholesterol test?

I have to fast all morning, can I drink water? Probably not juice...


Answers:

During the fast before your test you can have only water. Even something as small as chewing a piece of gum can interact with the test.

For my husbands last test they even told him that he should avoid mouthwash. Toothpaste was fine but no mouthwash.

If you normally take any medications in the morning, call your doctors office and see if you can still take them. usually it's fine but it's best to check anyway.
