Do you have diabetes or hypothyroidism? Is this your first lipid profile test or had you done it before? Whats your cholesterol and LDL levels? Initially you need lifestyle modification like decreasing intake of saturated fats,sugars,stop smoking, alcohol If still not controlled we can go for medications
