One this cholesterol is just borderline high and it definitely doesn't require medication at this stage. 2) You should just focus on lifestyle measure like - daily exercise for 40 mins like brisk walking, a healthy heart diet (take aa detailed diet consultation with a dietician), quit smoking and drinking, and lower day to day stress in life. These precautions should be taken for life.
