Hello
After going through the medical details provided by you I can understand your concern for your health and well being and I would like to tell you that considering your young age group and slightly higher levels of total cholesterol it’s not advisable to start any medication to lower your cholesterol levels.
You just need to follow strictly healthy lifestyle modifications which includes
1. Low carb and high protein and Fibre diet.
2. No junk food and soft drink.
3. Daily exercise or brisk morning walk for at least 35 mins daily for 5 days a week.
Just follow this routine strictly for a month and you will get the results.
Kind Regards
