Since its been 5 years, it is not advisable to change the medicines without a proper diagnosis. At the same time, I strongly advise you to meet an Ayurvedic doctor and take a proper treatment plan to slowly reduce dependency on medicines.

I was advised by one doctor to take Ecosprin AV 75 while two other doctors advised me to stop it as it can be harmful in the long run. My sugar levels are 6.2 Hb1AC and triglycerides 81. Cholestrol levels are also normal.

Ans: Aspirin and Statin are suggested based on the risk for cardiovascular disease. Diabetes is a big risk factor. If you have even one more risk factor, it makes sense to take Aspirin and Statin, to maintain your LDL below 70. You have not mentioned your LDL. I would recommend you get one formal consultation to understand the various risk factors and interventions.

Hello doctor I had total cholesterol around 270 and HDL 80 and LDL around 175 with normal tryglecirides. It's been like this since years . I am quite active and daily walk 4 kms. I am 65 years now. My doctor wants me to start statins but I would prefer to avoid. I am following a healthy lifestyle but my cholesterol levels don't get controlled. Should I start statins. And if I do is it ok to discontinue on e the levels become normal.

Ans: First thing you should do to modify lifestyle. reduce free sugars from your meals and reduce carbohydrates.
Increase physical activity.
Your LDL levels are high and the lifestyle modification alone may not help. Therefore, starting on Statin is a good idea.

Yes, over period of time when cholesterol returns to normal, it is possible to stop statin or reduce the doses.

I got 2600 sc rank in iat 2025. Any chance of getting in?

Ans: With an SC category rank of 2600 in the IISER Aptitude Test (IAT), admission to IISERs is unlikely, but not impossible. While the top IISERs like Pune and Kolkata are highly competitive and likely out of reach, some of the newer IISERs, like Berhampur and Tirupati, might have a chance in later counselling rounds if vacancies arise.
