<s>[INST] I'm 51 and 5'6 and weigh 190 lbs. I'm healthy I am taking serequel and lamictal. I just had lab work and the came with some high choleseteol levels for toatl 224and LDL 149. what can lower these levels without more meds? The m eds I'm on now Iknow contribute to these high levels. [/INST] Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. Your LDL cholesterol is very high. It is the most common cause for atherosclerosis and blockage of coronary arteries. So we need to control it as soon as possible. For this lipid lowering drugs are the mainstay of treatment. Along with drugs you need to follow some lifestyle modifications. Avoid oily and fatty foods. Avoid stress and tension. Do regular aerobic exercise like running, cycling, swimming etc. Eat high fiber diet. Eat raw vegetables and fruits more. Combination of drug and lifestyle modifications, both are required to control high cholesterol and LDL. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. </s>
