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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.
