Avoid fried, processed, and sugary foods. Eat more fiber, oats, nuts (in moderation), fatty fish, olive oil, and vegetables. Exercise regularly and avoid smoking/alcohol. Recheck lipids after 3 months.

Please suggest. Five months back I went through forceps delivery. My alkaline phosphatase and cholesterol levels are crossing the border range. Calcium oxalate crystals are identified in my urine report?

I have high cholesterol and would like guidance on how to control it. I have attached my report for reference. Could you also advise on the possible side effects and long term complications if it is not controlled?

I have been prescribed Lipitor 20 mg once daily at bedtime since January 2016. Is it safe for me to stop this medication and try natural or home remedies to reduce my cholesterol instead? My blood sugar is under control. Please advise.
