I'm looking at my cholesterol numbers and I'm a bit worried. My total cholesterol is 226.3 mgdL, LDL is 145.7 mgdL, and triglycerides are 190.5 mgdL. Is this something I should be really concerned about? What does this mean for my health?

Cholesterol total of 226.3mgdl, LDL cholesterol of 145.7mgdl, and triglycerides of 190.5mgdl indicate slightly elevated levels, which may increase the risk of heart disease. To help lower these levels, you can consider taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to lower LDL cholesterol and Fenofibrate 145mg once daily to lower triglycerides. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management can also be beneficial.

I've been diagnosed with RHD along with severe MS, severe MR, and moderate eccentric AR, but the ejection is normal. I'm feeling pretty worried and a bit confused about what all this means and how I should proceed. Could you give me some guidance on what steps to take next?
For the management of Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) with severe Mitral Stenosis (MS), severe Mitral Regurgitation (MR), moderate eccentric Aortic Regurgitation (AR) with normal ejection fraction, the following treatment approach can be considered: 1.

In severe cases, surgical interventions may be necessary such as: - Mitral valve repair or replacement for severe MS and MR - Aortic valve repair or replacement for moderate AR 3.
