I'm a bit concerned about my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is 217, triglycerides are 163, HDL is 48, and LDL is 145. My weight is 85 kg and I'm 5'10". Do you think I should start medication for cholesterol, or would simply making some lifestyle changes be enough?
Based on your cholesterol levels, medication may be required in addition to lifestyle changes. To lower your LDL cholesterol level of 145, you can start taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily. Along with this, it is important to make lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, engaging in regular physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight. Regular monitoring of your cholesterol levels is also recommended.

Sure, here's a rephrased version of the user's query: I've been having chest pains off and on for a couple of days and got an ECG done. Here's what the results say: Vent rate is 73 bpm, PR interval is 114 ms, QRS duration is 94 ms, QTQTc is 388427 ms, and the PRT axes are 64, 52, and 25. I'm really not sure if these numbers are normal. Should I be taking any special precautions, especially since the pain keeps showing up in different parts of my body at different times?
