High cholesterol levels since a year

Question

Asked for Male, 30 Years

I am a 30 year old male suffering from high cholesterol levels. My LDL came 175, TG 207, Total CH 260 and HDL 45.. Almost similar values came 1 yr ago in my coprorare check up but I ignored the report.. what should I do now? Should I be started on statin? Or at this age, other measures should be tried? If I start statin, would it be continued for life time or for some reasonable time duration? Is it true tat once started, if u stop statin, it gets rebound sharply so you may not be able to stop..
