Total cholesterol 6.16. Can you get better without medication?

The total cholesterol is 6.16mmol/L. If all the other indicators of blood lipid examination are normal, it is possible to return to normal even without medication. Because the normal range of total cholesterol is 3~5.69mmol/L, at present it is only mildly high, and there is hope that it will return to normal through lifestyle modification. High total cholesterol is related to heredity and unscientific lifestyle. Unscientific lifestyle includes high salt and high fat diet, lack of sufficient exercise, frequent drinking and staying up late. Therefore, if the total cholesterol is mildly high, it can be lowered by adjusting one’s dietary structure and eliminating bad lifestyle habits. Attention should be paid to regular review and timely assessment of relevant risk factors in the hospital. If there is a combination of multiple other risk factors or a combination of coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus, stroke, etc., the patient should be treated with statins immediately under the guidance of a doctor.
