My blood test report shows LDL is 120, HDL is 30, and hsCRP is 15.38. I am very concerned and scared. Could you please help me understand whether these results indicate any risk of heart disease?

HDL is low and hsCRP is high, indicating inflammation and cardiac risk. Start with lifestyle changes and consult a cardiologist for lipid lowering plan.
