Hi doctor,
I am a 28-year-old male. My weight is 154.32 Ibs and 5'4". I was diagnosed with LDL 188 for the first time. So what can I do?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Well, not only the LDL (low-density lipoprotein) but the triglycerides, the HDL (high-density cholesterol) and their ratio are equally important. You need to do some dietary and lifestyle changes according to your current LDL score. Consult a physician for a thorough examination, ECG and discussion for changes in your lifestyle. As per the latest guidelines, you might not need any medication for your level of LDL unless any other problem does not exist. Take care.
