Hello
Hypothyroidism may altered lipid profile.
It is important to know exact level of LDL,cholesterol,triglyceride,HDL level.
You may need few more investigations like routine hemogram,complete liver and renal function test,random blood sugar,lipid profile,urine RE/ME,ultrasound of abdomen.
I suggest tablet atorvastatin 10 mg daily at night after dinner.
You may need to take few more medicines after complete investigations.
You should avoid fatty food.
Go for brisk walk regularly and take lot of fibers in diet.
Get well soon.
Take Care
