Suffering From Indigestion Intermittently, Constipation And Weight Loss. How To Get Relief?

Had done medical tests as part of my company. The Pathology report is attached for reference. Have not yet consulted a doctor. Please advise what should be done.
Thanks for the query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar Kini, gastroenterologist and I would be pleased in answering your question.
Loss of weight is a warning sign and in the background of indigestion a gastrointestinal workup is warranted. I would suggest an upper GI endoscopy and an ultrasound scan be done as first step for further evaluation.
I went through your report. You do not have features of diabetes or hyperthyroidism.
Your lipid profile shows that the total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol is slightly out of range and dietary modification are needed to keep them under control. Fatty / oily food need to be avoided.
I hope that answers your question. If you have no more questions, kindly accept this answer and rate the service.

Also needed a help on LDL and total cholesterol. apart from diet changes will a 45 min brisk walk be enough to bring it down? Also does stress play a part in increasing the LDL and total cholesterol.
Thanks
Yes , brisk walk for 30-45 min can lower your cholesterol.
Yes, you are right - stress does increase the cholesterol levels.
Dietary changes, increased physical activity, stress relief and medications - all these help in lowering the blood cholesterol levels. Medication is required when the LDL and total cholesterol levels are above a certain range or in people with certain risk factors like diabetes etc
