High Cholesterol

Question

High Cholesterol

Asked for Male, 31 Years

While testing Lipid Profile my LDL came out to be 209. Doctor prescribed 10mg of satin. After one month of medicines I check it once again. It came out 116. Should I continue to take tablets for high LDL. If I stop the tablets will it increase my LDL in future. Couple of years back I have undergone CT Calcium score which came out Zero and non significant CAD. I have been feeling chest pain, left hand pain and back pain. I have consulted many doctors but unable to find relief. 3 months back I did TMT which came out Negative. What could be the reason for chest pain. Is high cholesterol making it worse..?

Should continue statin, focus on diet and physical activity. Probably stop bothering on reason for chest pain, it is probably not heart related.
