Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query.Your whole body aching is most likely due to high cholesterol level.It will be gone when your cholesterol become normal.For normalizing cholesterol you can try life style modification initially.You can do exercises like jogging with 8km per hour or swimming etc.You should decrease consumption of saturated fat like red meat ,egg yolk ,coconut oil, butter, and trans fats like margarine etc.You can take fishes like makeral or sardines which helps in increasing HDL and decrease LDL.If no improvement after 1 month then i usually advise statins like atorvastatin or rosuvastatin in low dose.Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query.
