I've just got my routine test results and it says I have high cholesterol and triglycerides. My cholesterol is at 258 and triglycerides at 378. I'm really worried about what this means and which medicine I should consider taking. Could you give me some advice on how to handle this?

I've been experiencing headaches lately, so I went to see a doctor. My blood pressure came in at 130100, which is quite different from two years ago when it was usually around 11070. The doctor told me to keep an eye on my BP for the next five days. My blood work was mostly okay, but they did find my CRP levels were at 6 and my sodium was a little low, around 133. I've been feeling tired all day too. What could be going on with me?

BP is observed for atleast 5 days for the diagnosis of hypertension.

My uncle is scheduled for CABG surgery this week and we're really worried about it. I've attached the CAG report for reference. Can you explain the benefits and risks of this surgery and what outcomes we can expect? Also, is this technique widely accepted by doctors and patients in India or are there any common issues with it? Would really appreciate your advice.
