Hi Harjinder
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Total cholesterol is borderline high and HDL is little normal.You definitely need treatment , but the treatment of choice depends on other risk factor you have for heart disease.I advise you to visit your Physician for complete examination and evaluation , and further treatment regime.Meanwhile you can start diet control and exercises.
Take care.
