hello,I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
your cholesterol and LDL cholesterol are both high.you need to follow healthy life style and follow fat restricted diet.I would like to know whether you consume alcohol ?
because elevated liver enzyme may be due to alcohol.It may be also be result of Atocor affecting liver.In any case you do need statin.You may start pitavastatin 1 mg in place of atocor.and repeat lipids and liver enzyme after 4 weeks.
I would be glad to guide you further once i get your feed back
My best wishes
