Question

I've just got my health check-up results and a few things look off, particularly my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is 189 mgdl and triglycerides are 249 mgdl, with non-HDL cholesterol at 153 mgdl and VLDL cholesterol at 49.8 mgdl. I'm really concerned about how critical these numbers are and what I should be doing next. Is there a particular specialist I should see, or any specific steps you would recommend for someone my age? I'm 30 and just trying to figure out the best way forward.
