Hello,
Explain that blood lipid profile is borderline.
For this reason, I would first recommend some diet changes: avoid fast food and fatty food, avoid sweets, try to eat more fibers and food rich in omega 3 fatty acids (walnuts, fish, fish oil, olive oil, etc.).
If this does not help to reduce LDL levels, I would recommend taking low dose atorvastatin for a couple of months.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
