Brief Answer:
You need lifestyle and medicines
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
LDL levels are high but not serious. They are only a risk factor for cardiovascular conditions. Your high cholesterol levels need lifestyle changes and medicines. You are already taking medicines and can continue it. Regarding lifestyle, please take low calorie diet and regular exercise.
Avoid fatty and oily foods like fried patties and full cream milk and milk products. A morderate fat intake consisting of unsaturated fats is recommended. Saturated and trans fat gets converted to cholesterol very easily, and are best avoided. Carefully analyse the foods that are providing you the unnecessary fat and replace those with healthier foods like sprouts, fruits or salads. You may continue to take nuts and dry fruits in moderation. In non-veg choose from the leanest cuts and pay attention to method of cooking. You really do not want a piece with oil dripping from it. Boiled or roasted chicken and other meats are much healthier and easy to digest.
Fiber is important and you must ensure a liberal intake of vegetables and salads. These foods provide fiber which delays the absorption of sugar and helps in maintaining the blood sugar levels. A fiber rich diet also facilitates the reduction in blood cholesterol and promotes regular bowl movements and support weight management by regulating the calorie intake.
Avoid Bakery products like white bread and buns, cakes and cookies as these are mostly made with refined flour and contain Trans or Saturated fat, responsible to increase the cholesterol, and have sugar too. Avoid sweets.
Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks Doctor for your detailed reply.
One last question. Once the cholesterol normalises, will I be able to stop taking this medicine or I will have to continue life long?
