LDL and TG are high, HDL is low, this increases heart risk. Adopt low fat diet, daily exercise, avoid smoking. If lifestyle fails, doctor may prescribe statins.

I recently had my executive health check up. Most of my reports are normal, but my cholesterol level is slightly high. The doctor advised me to exercise regularly and take Razel 10 mg tablet daily after dinner. I have attached my reports for your reference.

I have high cholesterol and would like guidance on how to control it. I have attached my report for reference. Could you also advise on the possible side effects and long term complications if it is not controlled?

I am 25 years old and not doing heavy work, just office work. Sometimes I get pain in my left chest when I feel afraid or panic. During the pain, I do not have sweating or breathing problems. May I know why this happens? Is it due to cholesterol or something else?
