High LDL cholesterol

2021-09-06 17:40:39
My mother's LDL cholesterol is 196.3mg/dl and overall cholesterol serum is 303.36mg/dl. She has hypertension, is taking hypertension medicine but has never taken any medicine for lowering cholesterol. What should be the course of action to reduce cholesterol? Does she need any medicine or just lifestyle changes can be effective?
