Suggest Treatment To Lower The Cholesterol Levels

I am a 44 years old woman. In my last check up my blood test came back with some liver enzymes in a high level: Alkaline phosphatase 136 u/l, ALT 42 u/l and Bilirubin 1.4 mg/dl . My cholesterol was 222, my Non HDL cholesterol 161 mg/dl and my triglycerides 245.. My height is 5.7 and I was 154 pounds at the time of the test. I am eating a more healthy diet now and my weight went down to 143. My goal is to reach 135. Tomorrow I am having a sonogram of the abdomen area to check for gallbladder stones since a lot of people in my family has this condition.

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your cholesterol levels is not much high. Still if you want to reduce it then you should take low fat diet with high amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids. you can take drugs like atorvastatin or pravastatin to control your cholesterol level. But it is prescription medicine so you should consult your physician and take it according to his advice.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
