Hello I reduced cholesterol level from Total cholesterol - 246mg/dl Hdl- 40mg/dl LDL - 179mg/dl Triglycerides - 186mg/dl To Total cholesterol - 215mg/dl Hdl- 33 mg/dl LDL - 153mg/dl Triglycerides - 145mg/dl in one month. Should I go for medication? Doctor suggested I check for a month if I am able to reduce and get back. Please suggest!
