Brief Answer:
Cholesterol lowering agents are required

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir

I can certainly understand your concern

I have worked through your attached query and reports in detail.

Your reports are suggestive of elevated blood cholesterol levels.

You require cholesterol lowering agents for atleast 3 to 6 months.

B12 can be improved with intake of dietary food stuff like egg and meat.

I generally prescribe oral medications of atorvastatin to my patients with such lab abnormalities.

Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe these medications to improve your symptoms or lab abnormalities.

Post your further questions if any
Thank you
