  5. I'm concerned about the increase in my cholesterol levels over the past few months. Back in October 2021, my total cholesterol was 190 mgdL and LDL was 115 mgdL. But in January 2022, my total cholesterol went up to 210 mgdL and LDL to 128 mgdL. I'm worried about this change and wondering what might have caused it. Could you suggest some ways to manage or reduce these levels?

In Oct 2021, your total cholesterol was 190 mgdl and LDL was 115 mgdl. In Jan 2022, your total cholesterol increased to 210 mgdl and LDL increased to 128 mgdl. The reason for the increase in cholesterol levels could be due to dietary changes, lack of physical activity, or genetic factors. To help lower your cholesterol levels, you can try incorporating lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, and possibly medication if recommended by your healthcare provider. For example, you can consider taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help lower your LDL cholesterol levels.
