Hi Royella Smith,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based on the report you have furnished, you cholesterol level is definitely high along with extremely high levels of triglycerides.
High triglycerides is a risk factor for pancreatic diseases.
You would require a clinical evaluation and the levels need to be brought down by means of proper diet, regular exercise, proper medications and regular follow-up.
Kindly consult Physician promptly for evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope the information provided helps.
All the best.
