Is Cholesterol Value Of 271 A Cause For Concern?

I try to eat ok but also unable to exercise due to arthritis and injury in feet and shoulders and spine. How can I lower my Cholesterol from 271. My doc gives me simvastatin which seems to not work. I had Vitorin which worked well but current doc and insurance will not give it nor insure it.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It is high. Avoid oily foods and do frequent exercises like swimming or jogging. You can go for a repeat test after one month. If the cholesterol value is still high, drugs like statin may be needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
