Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

I think at those levels, he needs to be on medicines for dyslipidemia. These are safe medicines and may benefit his cholesterol and triglycerides. the medicines like atorvastatin and rosuvastatin may help. it may also be protective in conditions like stroke or heart disease.

A good regime of exercise and diet of low calories may be helpful as well.
If you start the medications a watch needs to be kept on lipid profile. once in every 3-4 months may help.

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.
