Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thank you for posting your question on Health Care Magic.
Your blood reports do show some issues but relax all are manageable ones.
Firstly your cholesterol levels are high which is not good in your age , for which I recommend you to start excercises daily for at least 45 minutes.Avoid non vegetarian food especially red meat ,Avoid high fat or oil containing food.
Repeat your lipid profile in a months time after following the above regime strictly if no change we may have to start you on medication.
You seem to be hypothyroid which needs hormone replacement. Please consult an endocrinologist who will investigate you further for the cause and will start you on hormone replacement therapy.
Hope this helps
Best wishes

I am a vegetarian and have very controlled diet, the cholesterol level is same for last two years. I do jogging for around 20 min everyday. My body weight has increased from 78 to 85 in last 3 to 4 years but 85 is consistent for last 12 months.
Do you think I should take medicine for cholesterol or do more cardio related tests?

Brief Answer:
No need for cardio tests

Detailed Answer:
Hello again,

If your diet is well managed and you are regular with your exercises, still your cholesterol is this high, if I're you treating Doctor, then I'd would recommend you to start on ATORVASTATIN 10 mg daily at bed time.

Please take plenty of water while on this medication.
Repeat lipid profile in 15 days and revert back.
Also I would recommend you to see a dietitian for your high uric acid levels.


Best wishes

I have heard that if I start cholesterol related medicine then it is probable that i may need to continue for the life, is this true?

Brief Answer:
Not really

Detailed Answer:
Hello again, it depends, the way your body responds to the medication.

If your cholesterol levels are continually controlled we could hold back the statin subsequently and follow up with investigations.
