Hello
Your findings may indicate altered lipid profile.
LDL and cholesterol level are raised.
You may need diet and life style modification.
I also suggest to take atorvastatin 10 mg single tablet at night after dinner.
You should go for brisk walk and exercise regularly.
Avoid taking saturated fat.Take lot of fibers in your diet in the form of vegetables and fruits.
Avoid red meat and high fat milk products.
Get well soon.
Take Care
