Question 1

I have developed fat deposits around both eyes, which started after I completed graduation. There is no family history of this, and my cholesterol levels are normal. I have previously had one removal procedure, but the deposits are slowly increasing again. Could you please advise on possible interventions?

Question 2

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.

Question 3

Hi, I recently had a blood test, and the results show:
Slightly higher levels of LDL Cholesterol (Direct), Triglycerides, HbA1c, and High Sensitivity C Reactive Protein (hs CRP)
Slightly lower levels of Monocytes (Absolute Count) and Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)
I would like a holistic analysis of these results and recommendations based on my report. If any further tests are needed, I am willing to get them done. Also, I am unsure whether I should consult a General Physician or a Dietician/Nutrition Specialist.

Hi Sir, I checked my cholesterol levels last month and the report showed high cholesterol. Can you please advise how to reduce my cholesterol levels? Please find my report attached. Thanks, Kartheek.

Elevated cholesterol requires dietary changes, exercise, and sometimes medication. You should take a Lipid Profile and HbA1c to guide management based on risk factors.
