You are in a problem because the LDL is high which shows the potential risk of heart attack. First is to reduce weight.
Do dieting.
No oil in food.
Take Atorvastatin 40 mg daily at bedtime for one month and then check back with a lipid profile report. If the report still shows a bad lipid profile then we will change the medicine.
You didn't mention the age of your husband and if he had any similar problems earlier.
The Cholesterol level of your husband is not alarming. I don't think it can be the cause for his symptoms.
Please get a Complete Health Checkup package including ECG and Chest X ray. He should consult a General Physician again with all the reports.
Yes, there is dyslipidemia. Do lifestyle modifications plus medications.
Lifestyle- Take low cholesterol diet, less Oily, less fried, less meat, chicken can be taken in moderation
Regular exercise- If moderate intensity 30 minutes for 5 days a week or high intensity 75 minutes a week
Do encourage to reduce weight if it's on higher side.
Next Steps
Consult doctor for medication based on risk assessment and to know targets
Health Tips
HbA1c is also in prediabetic range- Diabetic diet must also be followed
Your lipid profile shows borderline high LDL cholesterol, elevated triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, and increased non-HDL cholesterol, suggestive of mixed dyslipidemia with an increased long-term cardiovascular risk
Next Steps
Lifestyle modification is strongly recommended, including a healthy diet, regular exercise (at least 150 minutes/week), weight management
If a patient is a smoker and alcoholic - avoidance of smoking and excess alcohol. Please undergo a clinical risk assessment to determine whether lipid-lowering medication is required
Health Tips
A repeat fasting lipid profile in 8–12 weeks is advised to assess response
If it is high in spite of medicine, the dose of medicine needs to be increased or another one to be added.
Please share details of med.taken.
Also avoid fatty, sugary food, avoid alcohol and tobacco, do regular physical exercise, rest adequately,
He needs to start medication but with changes in his lifestyle which is very important.
Stop taking oily, junk food and the one which has fat.
And start brisk walk.
