Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Your total cholesterol and LDL sit clearly above the healthy range, and your cholesterol to HDL ratio of 5.5 adds to that picture. Your blood sugar, triglycerides and blood pressure are all fine, so this looks like a cholesterol-specific issue rather than a sugar or pressure one.
Next Steps
Start with diet changes, cutting fried food, red meat and refined carbs, and add 30 minutes of daily activity. Recheck your lipid profile in 8 to 12 weeks before deciding if medicine is needed.
Health Tips
Please see a physician in person with this report, since your family history and other risk factors decide if lifestyle change alone is enough.
