Can TMT results be positive because of stress, anxiety, or depression? I'm really curious about what might cause this and would love some insight into it. It's been on my mind a lot.

View allI've noticed some changes in my recent lab results, and I'm a bit worried. My triglycerides have gone up from 374 in December to 470 mgdl now. My HDL improved from 31 to 42 mgdl, but my LDL dropped from 153 to 78 mgdl and my VLDL jumped from 34 to 94 mgdl. I haven't taken any medicine, just changed my diet and stopped eating out. Should I see a cardiologist or just a regular physician?
You should first cut down on oils, butter and fried foods. Daily brisk walk for at least 30mins
