High pulse rate (heart rate)
I have recovered from COVID 10 days ago and from last 1week my pulse rate is consistently more that 100 except in few times and also had mild chest pain.
Recently I get ECG & 2D Echo and both are normal and also tested for Lipid profile.
LDL is 150
Triglycerides: 235.
And sometimes BP is normal and sometimes it's 140/70.
Should I worry about high cholesterol and if start Statins then can I stop after 2-3 months?
Kindly suggest.
Thanks

If ecg and echo is normal. Need not worry. No need of medications for these cholesterol levels now. Maintain healthy lifestyle and repeat Lipid profile after 3 months in fasting state.
