Need more informaton: I am sure his doctor can address his heart related issues due to high Cholesterol. We can help him if required but need to know the lab values of his Cholesterol and his Lipid Profile which should include his total Cholesterol, Low density Cholesterol(LDL), High density Cholesterol(HDL) and Triglycerides.
