Hello,
There are treatments that may help reduce cholesterol. These are drugs such as Simvastatin or Atorvastatin which can be taken daily and can reduce cholesterol. Furthermore, I would advise you to do a thyroid test (TSH) because if the thyroid is not working properly cholesterol may be high.
Also, try to be active, exercise regularly, eat healthy diet, do not smoke, do not use alcohol or sugary drinks.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
