I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message and the reports. I think I can help you.
The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of following.
1. high cholesterol levels.
2. low Folate and vitamin B 12.
I would suggest the following -
a. statins like atorvastatin. A dose of 10 mg and low fat diet should help.
b. a simple course of multivitamins course once a day should help. Many brands are available like Becosule etc.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem.
