Hence , regarding medication you should take, it was to be decided by the doctor attending you. There are many classes of medications that are used to treat high cholesterol. The choice of medication will depend on your age, overall health, risk factors and possible side effects. We have no access to the information thus, we can’t decide which one is the best for you.

You can opt for lifestyle chages first for 3 months and see if we can control the cholesterol without medication. It won’t risk your life because that is usually the initial treatment for individual with high cholesterol.

Besides, ESR is not related to your cholesterol. Increase in ESR could be due to infection, aging, anemia or inflammation. I can’t come to a verdict why your ESR is high because it should be look into together with your condition.
