No need to start medicines at this point. Just lifestyle modifications like exercise, weight control and dietary changes will help. Repeat lipid profile after 3 months of lifestyle change.

You can try lifestyle changes for 3 months if it's newly diagnosed. And then start on tablets if it's not controlled with lifestyle.
