Hello and thank you for using HCM. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to give you some advises according to your problem. You should know that our desiderable values of cholesterol are below 200 mg/dl. Of course you have a high value and you should lower it to prevent side effects in the future. You can do it with two ways, through lifestyle modifications and medical treatment. The first that we try and that s the most important one is the lifestyle modification. This includes: - regular physical activity, like minimally 40 minutes walking every day - changing diet. Avoid white bread, pizzas, fast foods, pies, cookies, sweeties, alcohol. - A high fiber diet rich with vegetables, fruits. Of course the dietetic modification are not allays effective, especially if we deal with hereditary forms of dislypidemias.This means a genetic factor that keeps the cholesterol high despite the diet. In this cases it is mandatory to take medicines that control high cholesterol like statines as you are already doing. I will recommend you to repeat your cholesterol measurement after one month. Hope I was helpful. Best regards.
