I recently underwent a lipid profile test, and my results show that my VLDL cholesterol is 67 (normal range is 7 to 40) and triglycerides are 335 (classified as high, with a range of 200 to 499). I would like to understand what these results mean, whether they indicate harmful levels, and what steps I should take to address them. I have attached the report for your detailed review.

What is the best time to take a cholesterol test after fasting?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Since the past week, I have been waking up with a dry mouth and pain in both ears. Over the last three days, I have also experienced slight fever, runny nose, and headache. Could this indicate a more serious health problem? Additionally, my doctor prescribed Atorcor 20 mg daily for 3 months to reduce cholesterol, but I have been taking it irregularly. My cholesterol is around 250 to 270 mg/dL. Should I continue this medication regularly?
