I was tested with high cholesterol and triglycerides last year. Ldl-119, hdl-34, vldl-44, triglycerides-240. This was my report in January, 2015. I was prescribed Rosuvastatin, 10. Got my lipid profile done in June, 2015. Reports were: LDL-49, HDL-40, VLDL-16, Triglycerides-140. The doctor had then put me on a 5mg dose of rosuvastatin. And he asked me to take another 5mg rosuvastatin tablet every 2 days. So the dosage became: 5mg, 5mg, 10mg, 5mg, 5mg, 10mg. Now I got myself tested again in Jan, my triglycerides had gone up to 200 and ldl to 58. Hdl remains on 42. Has this got to do with the peculiar dosage? Shall I just continue with the 5mg dosage daily or a 10 mg daily? I'm otherwise healthy. A little hypotensive. But since October, I have quit my previous job and now I'm doing a desk job. So I have a sedentary lifestyle and have put on 5 kilos. Should I go for a low carb, low fat diet too?
