Hello and thank you for using HCM.I carefully read your question and I understand your concern.

I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion.

You should know that cholesterol target levels depends on some factors like your age and other associated rics factors like hypertension ,diabetes, smoking and hereditary history of high cholesterol levels.

If you are diagnosed with angina than it means that you are suspected for atherosclerosis and ischemic heart disease. This means that you should lower you cholesterol as much as possible, opimaly below 130 mg / dl for total cholesterol and below 70 mg / dl for ldl col.

In my opinion, in your case the medical treatment is mandatory and after a full blood analyze I would recommend a class of statins drug.

At the same time is essential to avoid high cholesterol food, fast food, pizzas, white bread, sweeties and increase vegetables and fruits.

Of course to reduse your weight and cholesterol you should strart regular physical activity minimaly 40 minutes walking every day.

This would help you to reduse your cholesterol levels.

Hope I was helpfull.
Best regards.
