Hi, I recently did a regular health check up, and my LDL cholesterol is high. I have attached the report for reference. Could you please advise whether I should consult a doctor for further evaluation, or can I try lifestyle modifications for some time before seeking medical advice?

If LDL cholesterol is high but other reports are normal, lifestyle modification is the first step. Start with 30 mins of exercise, fiber rich diet, and avoid fried/processed food. No need for immediate medication unless LDL is very high or other risks like diabetes, family history, or BP exist. Repeat your Lipid Profile after 3 months of diet and exercise changes to track progress.
