Brief Answer:
Lifestyle modification and dietary changes should be tried first

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for using the Ask a Doctor service.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concern. I have checked the attached report and the LDL level is raised (driving up the total cholesterol). The first step would be lifestyle modification in the form of regular morning walk and dietary control. If that does not suffice, medication would be needed. Furthermore, your age, sex and family history would play a role in the decision.
