Hello.. Your total cholesterol levels are high and your ldl that is bad cholesterol levels are high...yes definitely you need to follow strict diet and do exercises but you will definitely need lipid lowering drugs,adding on since you have a strong family history...well I would suggest you to consult a physician for now
