Brief Answer:
Should have a healthy lifestyle for 8 weeks and see

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I guess it's a total cholesterol level. So, it's elevated.

You should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high-calorie diet. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according to your capacity at least 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity. Get your blood pressure checked once.

So, we should see the response of aggressive healthy lifestyle and dietary restrictions over the cholesterol. And repeat cholesterol levels after 8 weeks, if there is good control then we should continue the same otherwise you need to be started on medicines.

Hope this helps you...Do get back if you have any doubts.
