High Cholesterol because of Alcohol
I tested my lipid profile which came along with a Diabetic test package. My bad cholesterol values are pretty high and good is low
[Cholesterol=301; Triglycerides=272; LDL=211; VLDL=54; Non-HDL=265 and HDL=36]
I consulted a Cardiologist who has prescribed Rozavel F (0-0-1), redo the test and let him know.
Nobody in the family has this and I believe it is because of my alcoholism which I quit last December.
My question is once my LDL is brought down, will it be permanently cured or I would need to take medicine the rest of my life?
I was COVID positive on May-8th and also take anxiolytics for anxiety and depression.
