Sir, I recently did an executive health check up. All my tests are normal except for high cholesterol. I am attaching the report for reference. Could you please advise what steps I should take to lower my cholesterol? Is this a serious issue, or can it be managed with exercise and a proper diet? My doctor has also advised taking Razel 10 mg daily at night. Please guide me

If only cholesterol is raised and all other tests are normal, it can often be managed through diet and exercise. Start with 30 to 45 minutes of walking, cut down on fried food, red meat, and sweets. Lipid Profile should be repeated after 3 months of lifestyle change. If the doctor has advised Razel 10 mg, continue it alongside diet control. It is not serious unless other heart risks (BP, diabetes) are present.

My husband, age 40 years, has Triglycerides 159, HDL 30, VLDL 32, and LDL 101. How is the report? I am concerned about HDL and VLDL.
Answered by Apollo Doctors
Dear Doctor, please suggest what to do? My husband HDL levels are very low. He was using statins to control triglycerides, which were over 100 and are now 171. I am worried about his HDL levels. His lipid profile shows total cholesterol 118 mg/dl, HDL cholesterol 24 mg/dl, LDL cholesterol 60 mg/dl, triglycerides 171 mg/dl, TC/HDL cholesterol ratio 4.9, LDL/HDL ratio 2.5, VLDL cholesterol 34.2 mg/dl, and non-HDL cholesterol 93.6 mg/dl.
