You have pretty high cholesterol level and Omega 3 ,oatmeal and seafood
will help you some extent.
Correcting thyroid function is very important for normal cholesterol also.
I suggest you Tab Atorvastatin 10 mg/day if you do not want to take chance
Good dietary supplements Exercise can provide some help only.
You have an option to continue with diet ,exercise for for 3 months and repea t lipid profile.
If there is no significant decrease, You certainly require statin drug.
