Cholestrol LDL raised
Hi, my LDL cholestrol is high report attached. Before 2 year lipid was normal but not now. I am 30 yrs male. Doctor prescribed rosuvastatin 5mg for 2 months and then to stop. Although I have started taking it from last 6 days,  As i have started taking it, will I have to take this for life long Or I can stop it? Should i stop now after taking it for 15 days?

Your LDL values are elevated but if you do not have any other risk factors ideally aggressive exercise yoga strict dietary restrictions with low fat low carbohydrates in diet. Lifestyle modification with regular sleep patterns avoiding smoking alcohol if any.
Next Steps
Repeat cholesterol levels after two months if persistent levels you need to start medication else lifestyle modification only should help.
