High cholesterol issue
I'm 30 yrs old. I used to take medicine for my high cholesterol level which was around 360 earlier. It was almsot 1 and half yrs back. My local doctor prescribed a RVS 10 mg(Rosavastulin) . I had it for 8 - 10 months, then I stopped taking this medicine because my cholesterol level was under control without any consultation with the doctor. For last 4 to 5 months I didn't follow any diet and eat Mutton a lot with junk food. A week back I got my cholesterol level checked and it is 505 now.what should I do? Please tell me . Should I start taking this medicine again? Or take some other medicine? Should I continue this medicine for ever? Please help.
