Big picture: It's between you and your physician, based on your family history, whether you are a smoker, hypertensive, diabetic, whether you are physically fit, whether you try to manage it with diet and exercise alone or whether you also begin medication.

Yes, meds+lifestyle: What is your BMI? Have you gained weight? This may affect your numbers and suggests a remedy as well. In addition to lipid medications, you need to be screened for type 2 diabetes and fatty liver. Beginning a proper diet and exercise program and losing weight weight will help as well. If you smoke, get help to quit.
