High cholesterol
Hey I have been suffering from high cholesterol since 5 years. I have been dieting and exercising 4-5 times a week still my cholesterol is always high.
What is wrong . My doctor has put me on statins as it is 280 now and my ldl is 178
Hdl is 79
If I go off statins will it be the same again?
I eat healthy and exercise still have this problem
My father also has high cholesterol.
Is it because of genetics?
Should I continue with statins
Are there any side effects of the same?
