Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your lipid profile report suggest that you have very high triglycerides level. Your HDL cholesterol is normal. Your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol are high normal. High triglycerides level is a risk factor for coronary heart disease. You should take low fat diet with high amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids. You can take drugs like atorvastatin or pravastatin to control your cholesterol level. But it is prescription based medicine so consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
