I am experiencing swelling in my feet and fingers, body pain, and depression with constant headache. My cholesterol is 253, which is high, and my triglycerides are also elevated.

Swelling, body pain, depression, and high cholesterol (253) together may signal an early metabolic disorder or inflammatory imbalance. High triglycerides (if present), thyroid dysfunction, or vitamin deficiencies can all cause these symptoms. Depression may also amplify pain and fatigue. Its important to check your lipid profile, thyroid (TSH), vitamin D/B12, and CRP, and begin light exercise and a heart friendly diet.

Doctor, please help me with a diet chart and let me know how to bring down my cholesterol levels? There is some variation in my lipid profile and I have a Vitamin D deficiency. Thanks.

My fasting test report shows the following: Total cholesterol: 265 mg/dl, Triglycerides: 256 mg/dl, HDL: 44.8 mg/dl, LDL: 171 mg/dl, VLDL: 171 mg/dl, Non HDL: 220 mg/dl. Could you please assist in interpreting these results? What could be the possible reasons for these values, and is this really risky?
