Your cholesterol and triglycerides are high, and HDL is low. Start lifestyle changes: avoid fried foods, sugary drinks, and red meat, eat fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, exercise 30 min daily, and maintain a healthy weight. If high cholesterol runs in your family or you have other health risks, medication may be needed. Repeat a Lipid Profile after 3 months to check improvement. Consult your doctor for further treatment planning.

My HDL cholesterol level is 33, which is considered low and a risk factor. I have been suffering from Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus for the last 19 years. What steps should I take to increase my HDL levels safely?

I am 25 years old and not doing heavy work, just office work. Sometimes I get pain in my left chest when I feel afraid or panic. During the pain, I do not have sweating or breathing problems. May I know why this happens? Is it due to cholesterol or something else?
