Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query.
I have carefully gone through your Lipid report, which suggests mixed
dyslipidemia (increased levels of
Cholesterol, Triglycerides and LDL- all of which are harmful to the body).
The possible causes are heredity, obesity or abnormal lifestyle. Other causes, such as,
diabetes and
under-active thyroid, have been excluded- as evident from the attached reports. However, you should get your sugar and Thyroid hormone tests done at regular intervals.
A LOW FAT diet; weight reduction to the desired level of BMI of less than 25 (if applicable); regular blood pressure check up, regular physical exercises for at least one hour daily; and, AVOIDANCE of fatty foods, junk/fast foods, confectionary, refined sugars, sweets, aerated/drinks, alcohol, non-veg products (particularly red meat) will help in bring down the different components of cholesterol.
It would be an ideal proposition to consult a dietician who will formulate a specific diet-chart for high Lipid levels.
However, I would recommend that you take Statins (such as,
Rosuvastatin 5mg +
Fenofibrate 160mg) daily at bedtime, along with the precautions mentioned above, till such time the levels return to desirable range.
Hope I have addressed your concerns to your complete satisfaction and you find my response helpful and informative. I will be happy to answer further queries, if any.
Take care,
Col (Dr.) Rakesh Karanwal
