I am 34 years male having having Total cholesterol 266 triglycerides 138 ldl 184 hdl 44. I have stopped my non veg intake as I have observed it increases my cholesterol. Now I am taking rosave 5 mg daily doctor has prescribed it for 2 months. I have questions like Can cholesterol be reduced permanently naturally or do I need to take medication for whole life. I had taken anabolic steroids (deca durabolin) in 2006 4 shots has that increased my cholesterol? Way back in 2011-2012 I was taking 3 scoops of whey protein daily and also was eating lots of non veg has that increased my cholesterol? My father is not having any health issues he is eating non veg and has normal diet. Mother is taking medication for high cholesterol and high BP. I really want to know the reason behind my cholesterol increase and work on that rather than taking medication for whole life.
