How to treat high total cholesterol with normal LDL and HDL?

LDL and HDL are normal, but the total cholesterol level is elevated, which can be treated by lifestyle intervention and application of drugs if necessary.
1. Lifestyle intervention: pay attention to smoking cessation, alcohol cessation, exercise to lose weight, low-salt and low-fat diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Meat products, preferably white meat, i.e. chicken, duck, fish, etc., can help to lower the total cholesterol level better.
2. Oral medication: Oral statin drugs are preferred, such as atorvastatin or Rosuvastatin. If you are sensitive to statin drugs or have had adverse reactions in the past, you can also choose to treat with Chinese medicines such as Lipotropic Capsules.
If you need to take cholesterol-lowering drugs, you need to seek medical treatment to avoid delay.
