Hi, your blood lipid levels are alarming. There are multiple factors responsible for this.
We have to find out the cause.
Then we have to see what modality of treatment will work.
Medications will definitely help but need to confirm the diagnosis.
High cholesterol and triglycerides can lead to various medical conditions something even serious like heart attacks and stroke.
Not to scare you, don’t be afraid. It’s good that you have evaluated yourself so early and early interventions can be very beneficial.
For more information, either consult a physician or consult online
Lastly, which is actually the first point: recheck the lipid profile as one aberrant value should also be confirmed.
