Hello , while majority of the report is normal there is one very alarming things here i.e LDL levels.
Most the cases of stroke and MI due to unregulated cholesterol are associated with high LDL and low HDL.
For a 55 year old the LDL levels should be between 70 to 100mg/dl.
Yours is 182 , this cannot be controlled by diet and lifestyle alone.
Next Steps
Start lipid lowering agents like statins.
Tab Atorvastatin 20mg once a day , after dinner is a good starting point.
Caution :
Be on the lookout for dark colored urine or extreme muscular pain. this can due to the drug even though extremely rare.If it occurs stop the drug
Also never take Azithromycin or claritjromycin if you are on statin(documented cases drug interaction have been reported)
Health Tips
Lifestyle modification can also help lower LDL by around 10 to 15%. Avoid red meat , deep fried thing and also sugar.
You must increase your physical activity to 30min a day 5 times a week for atleast 4 to 5 times a week , do brisk walking for start.
also repeat Fasting lipid profile in about 3 to 6 months
