Question

I'm really concerned about my cholesterol levels. My recent test showed a level of 243. Is this considered normal or should I be worried about it being too high? What does this mean for my health?

Your cholesterol level of 243 is considered high. To help lower your cholesterol, you can start taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-20 mg daily. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet and regular exercise can also be beneficial in managing your cholesterol levels.
