Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should definitely start lipid lowering drug.
Your some cholesterol levels are high, especially total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol.
LDL cholesterol is the most atherogenic in nature. So you are at risk of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease with these levels of cholesterol.
So we need to treat with lipid lowering drugs like atorvastatin or rosuvastatin.
So start the drug prescribed by your doctor. It is good drug for reducing cholesterol.
Along with drugs you need to follow strict diet plan (avoid oily and fatty food, use sunflower oil) and aerobic exercise like running, cycling, swimming etc.
Don't worry, with all these your lipids will be normal.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
