Dear sir
Thanks for your query.
As per the current ACC/AHA guideline anyone with LDL cholesterol more than 190 mg% is a candidate for Statin therapy. I would recommend you to get in touch with your physician for evaluation and starting statins. Beside you require life style modification which involves optimal weight, low fat diet, diet low in sweets but high in fibers, daily supervised exercise, good control of diabetes and high blood pressure and avoiding smoking.
Sincerely
Sukhvinder
