Brief Answer:
No Statins required.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to HCM.
I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
You have deranged lipid profile with such level of derangement, treatment with statins is not warranted.
You should also get your blood sugar tested in case it has not been done yet.
I would advise you to:
1.Reduce your weight.
2.Avoid Fatty food in diet.
3.To consume potato, rice, oil, ghee, sweets, carbonated beverages in moderated amount only.
4. Avoid alcohol and smoking in case you do.
Get your lipid profile repeated after 3 months and write back to me with reports.
This is my best opinion for you.
You should discuss my opinion with your doctor.
Stay healthy.
