Please understand that Cholesterol problem is a lifestyle disease. If you do not eat well, drink and smoke and do not exercise daily, then on stopping medication your levels will increase. Even with lifestyle measures 70-80% of people need medications for life for control in cholesterol. So first start lifestyle precautions like - daily 40 mins of brisk walking, diet consult for a healthy heart diet, quit smoking and drinking and if your are obese loose weight and if that does not completely control cholesterol then start with medications.
