Today, My Cholesterol -218, Triglyceride-229 & LDL - 123 HDL - 48.67
No alcohol no tobacco & Vegetarian.
Do I need to immediately start medication? Or Should I try lifestyle modification for few weeks before beginning medicines.?
With your current values, cholesterol 218, triglycerides 229, LDL 123, and HDL 48.67, and given that you are a vegetarian, non‑smoker, and non‑drinker, lifestyle modification is usually the first step. Medication is not typically started immediately unless you have other risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or a history of heart disease. Please consult your physician to personalise the plan and schedule follow‑up testing, as they can guide whether lifestyle changes alone are sufficient or if medication is needed based on your overall risk profile.
