High cholestrol levels
I am 27 years old male and few months back during my regular checkup I have been diagnosed with High cholesterol levels of LDL - 176 , HDL - 47 , Total cholesterol - 240 , Triglycerides - 90 , VIT B12 - 190 . Doctor prescribed me with Crestor 20 mg and I took it for 3 months which increased my SGPT and SGOT levels. Then I took Prelipid Abbott company med which brought back my cholesterol levels to normal . But while taking these medicines I had constant muscle pain and anxiety and not a good feeling at all . I am regular lawn tennis player past 3 years . I want to know if I really need to take a statin or Prelipid for my whole life to keep my cholesterol level normal . I don't feel like taking medicines but when I stop them cholesterol levels jumps again . Please advice me what should I do and is medication really necessary . Is there any other way out of it ??
Please advice me.

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
No you need not take medications for your whole life.
Just take care of the cats in your diet and have a high fiber diet.
Continue playing and exercising and everything will fall back into place.
Best regards.
