Good day my cholesterol is at 5.53 is that considered high? do i need to go on medication
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be: But there is still a room for diet and life style changes that could bring this level down. More important are the other readings of HDL (good cholesterol) and the LDL (bad cholesterol). Eat more fruits and vegetables, walk at least 30 minutes a day, see your doctor often, good luck
