Regarding cholesterol
Hello Doctor, My husband cholesterol level was high one year back then doctor prescribed atorva 10 mg and then he again did his lab test for lipid profile in Jan 2021 that time his lipid profile was normal so doctor has stopped his medication for cholesterol and again we have repeated the test in April and again It is high and then again I have started atorva 10 mg. And my query is that he has to do repeat test or should he stopped the medication and he has started exercise and walking daily. Please suggest.
I am attaching his reports and he is also taking thyroid medicine (Thyronorm 25 mg) and his mother is also diabetic. He is non diabetic

This lipid profile seems fine. Is this on medications or without medications? What was his lipid level before starting atorva ? Need further details for further evaluation. Consult online directly
