Lipid profile
I am 29 years old, male. My lipid profile: total cholesterol 95 triglyceride 98 ldl 33 hdl 34 vldl 28 chol hdl ratio 2.9 I used to take statin but for last 5 months I was not taking statin medicine. But when I said this to my doctor, he advised to continue statin (Rozavel 10). After taking last 10 days this is my lipid profile report. My blood pressure is usually 120/80, I take telpres ct 40/12.5 for blood pressure and thyroid medicine. Do I need statin like rozavel 10?? As earlier I took statin for several months. As I have stopped this, so any side effects I may face? Thanks.

Hello,
You do not statins for these lipid levels provided you do not already have a heart disease in past. Continue your BP and thyroid medicines as it is
Take care
