I have developed fat deposits around both eyes, which started after I completed graduation. There is no family history of this, and my cholesterol levels are normal. I have previously had one removal procedure, but the deposits are slowly increasing again. Could you please advise on possible interventions?

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.

I have done CBC and lipid test. Please check my report and prescription if required. My triglycerides are 205, HDL is low at 35, and VLDL is above the normal range. What does it mean?
