General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.I understand your concern.
Brief answer: Cholesterol can be reduced with lifestyle modifications(avoiding smoking,increased daily physical activity),fat and cholesterol less diet,proper weight management,later drugs(statins group,fibrate class drugs) might be needed.
Detailed answer:
If i were your treating physician,would ask you to provide me more information like your lifestyle,height,any other relevant medical and family history and other investigation reports like serum triglyceride level to give a good opinion regarding treatment.However i advise you to maintain optimal weight for height,proper fat less diet(saturated fat less than 7% of total daily calories),limit cholesterol in diet ,daily exercises or physical activity for atleast 30 minutes and check the lipid profile after 3 months of lifestyle modifications for further care.Hope i have answered your query.If any further questions,wish to answer you.
