My ldl is 150 hdl is 71 triglycerides 77 total 236 should i try lowering with dietary charges before satin?

Yes but . . .: First, go to http://hp2010.Nhlbihin.Net/atpiii/calculator.Asp and http://www.Reynoldsriskscore.Org/ to calculate your risk for a cardiovascular event in the next 10 years. That risk then guides our recommendations. Hdl goal is always >60 regardless (some settle for >40 or 50). Triglycerides should always be <150. If your risk is low (<10%), then your goal LDL is <160. So lifestyle first b4 statin.
