My recent blood report shows HDL 30 and LDL 240. Is this alarming? I have started a proper diet to increase HDL and reduce LDL from a week. How effective is this in improving my cholesterol levels, and what more should I do?

LDL is very high and HDL is low. Diet, exercise, and omega 3 can help. If no change in 3 months, lipid lowering medicine may be needed.
