Your total cholesterol of 280 mg/dL is elevated, but it is great that you are actively managing it with your prescribed Atorva 10 mg (atorvastatin). You do not need to cut out eggs entirely. Egg whites are cholesterol-free and safe to eat daily. However, egg yolks are high in cholesterol, so it is best to limit whole eggs to about 2 to 3 per week. Focus on a heart-healthy diet rich in fibre, vegetables, and lean proteins. Please continue taking your daily atorvastatin as prescribed and discuss your diet during your next routine check-up to see if any treatment adjustments are necessary.
