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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.
