Hello Doctor, I recently had some blood tests done and wanted your opinion. Here are my key reports: - Total Cholesterol: 246.8 mg/dL (High) - Triglycerides: 106 mg/dL (Normal) - Hemoglobin: 12.6 g/dL (Slightly low) Other tests: - Thyroid (TSH): Normal - Blood Sugar (Fasting & PP): Normal - Liver Function Test: Normal - Kidney Function Test: Normal - ECG: Reported as normal Background: - Age: 28 years - No diabetes or thyroid issues - Family history: My mother has heart disease (had a heart attack) Current lifestyle: - Following a controlled diet (~1600 kcal) - Eating oats, eggs, limited oil, and reducing sugar - Doing light exercise My questions: 1. Do I need to start any medication (like statins) at this stage? 2. Should I do any additional tests (LDL, HDL, ApoB, etc.)? 3. Is lifestyle modification enough for now? Please guide me on the next steps. Thank you.

No medication required. Lifestyle modification is enough. You can always go for additional tests
