2. Due to this reason, I started taking Lipid Profile Tests at 38 years of age (year 2008). The cholesterol level was 230-245, , Triglyceride 200-230, LDL 135-170 and VLDL 30-45. I am a non-vegetarian but a non-drinker and a non-smoker. I tried to control my food habit for 2 years but took fish almost daily, chicken twice a week and mutton once a month, without taking any medicine. However, the cholesterol levels did not come under control. In Aug 2010, I consulted a cardiologist who gave me 1 dose of fenofibrate (200mg) daily.
3. I took 200 mg of fenofibrate daily for 6 years. During this period, I undertook cholesterol tests every six months and cholesterol was under control. In Aug 2015, I suffered from viral fever and stopped taking fenofibrate (200mg) till date. However, I kept on taking Lipid Profile tests every month. The cholesterol level was 249-255, Triglyceride 260-290, LDL 150-160 and VLDL 52-58 for last five months. I am still not taking any medicine since Aug 2015.

Hi
Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for choosing Healthcaremagic.
See your Total Cholesterol , Triglycerides , LDL and VLDL all are high. Also you have a history of Heart problem in your father . So it is very important for you to take medicine even if the Cholesterol levels are normal. And never stop taking Cholesterol medicine due to any reason unless advised by a doctor.
I would recommend you to start taking Rosuvastatin+Fenofibrate ( 10mg + 160mg ) every night till further advise. Kindly get a prescription for this medicine and start using it .
In addition cut down on your non veg food intake . Totally avoid Mutton/Beef. Reduce Chicken intake to once in 10 days. Also avoid Sweets , Carbonated drinks, Cheese , butter , eat more of vegetables and fruits.
Repeat Lipid Profile after 6 months and revert back .
Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask.
Regards.
