Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Yes, you serum cholesterol is within normal limits
2. The risk ratio and LDL/HDL ratio are also good. However, due to sinusitis infection and possibly associated gastritis, your ESR is increased.
3. Continue with exercise, and nutritional diet. Take steam inhalation for sinusitis and also get evaluated for any deviated nasal septum, if sinusitis is frequently seen.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
