Hello,
Your boyfriend with high cholesterol level needs detail clinical evaluation to determine the cause of episodic tachycardia and syncopal attacks.
Investigations should include 12 lead ECG with rhythm strip and 2-D Echocardiography (as needed).
Meanwhile, for lowering of LDL cholesterol,l statin (e.g atorvastatin) and for high Triglyceride level, Fenofibrate oral will be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
