Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Your total cholesterol level and LDL is high.You are most likely having a dyslipidaemia.Your HDL should be low also if you check.In such condition initially i advise life style modification.Avoidance of red meat egg yolk dairy products like cheese butter.Have good exercise like swimming or jogging atleast 8km per hour speed may help.You can take fishes like mackeral olive oil which increases your HDL and decreases LDL.After one month if still cholesterol is high then i advise statins like atorvastatin or rosuvastatin in low dose.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
