Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Yes my total cholesterol is114 , ld l is 29 hdl is 61. I am 71. They tell me I have fatty liver . I have been put on lo Iipator since this test but I do not understand why. Can you tell me. I had chemo for breast cancer 4years ago but otherwise healthy and active and .cancer has not returned.
Your total cholesterol level is within limit as per mentioned history. So according to my opinion no need to give any anti lipidemic drug like statin. You can Consult good physician for examination and discuss accordingly. You only need to take healthy diet and exercise more. Loose weight if obese.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami,
