Question 2

Accepted Answer

Having LDL cholesterol levels above 130 mgdl and total cholesterol levels above 200 mgdl can increase your risk of heart disease. To manage your cholesterol levels, you can start by making lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking. In addition to lifestyle changes, your doctor may prescribe medication to help lower your cholesterol levels. One common medication used to lower LDL cholesterol is Atorvastatin, which is usually prescribed at a starting dose of 10-20 mg once daily. It is important to take the medication as prescribed and follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your cholesterol levels.
