Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that occurs naturally in all parts of the body. Your body needs some cholesterol to work properly.

You should not take medicines on long term basis without good evidence of substantial benefit. Rosuvastatin should generally be used after a blockage, not for cholesterol. Exercise combined with rosuvastatin maybe harmful for your muscles. You can try it, but it is not making much sense to me.

Anxiety may be due to excessive medication and diet restrictions. Why do you take rosuvastatin? It should be taken by those who have suffered serious blockages, very very seldom useful for abnormal levels of cholesterol. Take a balanced diet with less sugar jaggery alcohol tobacco and starchy foods. Include traditional foods like butter, nuts, oils, milk etc. The secret to good health is good food. Following modern fashions about diet is quite harmful. Best wishes.

Cholesterol 210 is ok. All cholesterol values between 150 and 300 are ok for heart and good lifespan. High triglycerides is always due to poor diet. Triglycerides should be treated with exercise or with better diet, not by medicines. Switch to a diet low in alcohol sugar jaggery and starchy foods. Increase traditional health foods like yoghurt cheese nuts eggs butter etc. Your triglycerides will improve in 6 weeks and stay healthy as long as you are intelligent about your food. Best wishes.
