QUERY REGARDING LIPID PROFILE REPORTS
I am 26 yrs of age and I went for my lipid profile test yesterday i.e. on 30th Oct 2020 and the test results are as follows :
Total Cholesterol : 207 mg/dl
Triglycerides : 126 mg/dl
LDL : 132 mg/dl
HDL : 53 mg/dl
V.L.D.L : 22 mg/dl
Total Cholesterol/HDL ratio : 3.9
LDL/HDL ratio : 2.5
What do the well qualified doctors have to say about this report ? Do I need to take any medicine for lowering down LDL and increasing HDL ?
My cholesterol level is 207 which is not in normal range and HDL is also not above 60 which it should be. Please help and guide me what I need to do now. I am also attaching my previous reports of Lipid profile which I got it done in Jan 2019 for your perusal and comparison.
