Brief Answer:
Have healthy lifestyle

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Your lipid profile is deranged.
You should have healthy lifestyle at present for 3 months. You should avoid fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity at least 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any.
There is nothing to worry about it at present. Its not harmful immediately, but if remain deranged for long time over years then it increases the risk. So, you should change your lifestyle and see for the response. You should repeat lipid profile after 2-3 months and if response is seen then you should continue with lifestyle change only. However, if it remains deranged then should be started on medicine Rosuvastatin 5 mg bedtime for lipid control. Alternatively, if you have already having fairly healthy lifestyle at present then you should get started on Tab Rosuvastatin 5 mg bedtime for 8 weeks.

Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
