Hi dear.
I have gone through your reports.
I can understand your concern.
Your HDL cholesterol is slightly low and your LDL cholesterol is slightly high. You should take low fat diet with high polyunsaturated fatty acids. you can take statins because you have family history of heart disease. You can take atorvastatin like drug. But it is prescription medicine you should consult your physician and take treatment accordingly.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
