Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your problem description. I sincerely feel that you should take the medicine for the time being. Storvas 5 mg should help you to bring down the cholesterol level fast. Then you should start maintaining it.

Exercising and healthy food is the key to keep the cholesterol at bay. Including boiled garlic petals along with food is another way to keep cholesterol down.
But nothing can replace exercising and low calorie food.

Hope this clears your doubt. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
