Hello,
Your LDL levels are quite high and HDL which is the good cholesterol is less. Apart from a healthy diet and lifestyle measures like exercising daily, you need to get Statins prescribed. Your doctor may use other drugs that lower cholesterol by different means if a statin does not sufficiently lower your cholesterol or if you do not tolerate the statin because of side effects. These other drugs include ezetimib and fibrates.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
