please suggest medication for my high cholesterol levels
hello welcome to icliniq com it is definitely deranged I assume that the test was done after fasting of hours if not then worthwhile to repeat now since you are young it is important to determine whether you will need long term medications or not so you may give a try of healthy lifestyle for 8 weeks if you think you already having a good lifestyle and there is no scope for further improvement or due to unavoidable factors you would not be able to modify lifestyle more then better to be on medications so you should have tablet rosuvastatin 10 my once daily bedtime for weeks and repeat the lipid profile after that let me know the values after weeks if you want to try a healthy lifestyle which is also an option then you may try for eight weeks have low oily fatty and fried foods have less of fast food low calorie foods low butter ghee and low fat milk avoid meat and egg yellow avoid sweets as much as possible try to achieve some weight loss have regular exercises like brisk walking or running according to the capacity repeat the lipid profile after eight weeks of healthy lifestyle to see the response and if there is no response then you need to be on medications if there is a good response then medications are not necessary I hope this helps
