[|Human|] I just got my cholesterol tests back today.  I hadnt checked them in 2 yrs, but they are better than last time.  My triglicerides were 121, hdl 48 and ldl 132.  My doc wants me on meds...but I really hate to start that for fear I will never get off.  How dangerous is it if I dont treat the 132 number?
[|AI|]  Hello, thanks for taking the time to post a question on our site. I do not prescribe medications for my patients that have a border high LDL (130-159 mg/DL). I usually recommend lifestyle modification instead. Like eating vegetables, nuts, fruits, fish. Exercising at least 3 times a week and avoiding habits like smoking or Chat Doctor. Except there are other health issues that can prevent of from exercising. I advise you to discuss with your physician. Best regards
