Your condition is recommended to take lipid-lowering medication promptly. Although hyperlipidemia may not present obvious symptoms on its own, long-term abnormal blood lipid levels can lead to the risk of atherosclerosis and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, it is important to control it early and actively. Medications such as atorvastatin calcium tablets and pitavastatin calcium tablets can be considered. The specific medication should be implemented under the guidance of a cardiologist at a local hospital.
