High homocysteine and cholesterol profile raise heart risk. HDL is low, triglycerides high. Ferritin is very high (inflammation or iron overload). Lifestyle changes, folate/B12, and statin therapy may be needed. Repeat tests and consult a physician.

One month back, I experienced a blackout while sitting in a bus. The doctor prescribed medicine after seeing high cholesterol: ROSEDAY 10. The doctor advised me to revisit after one month with an echo, lipid profile, and HUTT test. I am fine now. Please advise what I should do next?

Good evening, my name is Chiranjeevi. I am 28 years old. In a recent blood test report, I was told that I have high cholesterol and low vitamin D. I am a vegetarian. Please help me with some medication to reduce cholesterol and increase vitamin D. I sometimes face pain when I sit on the floor. Please suggest some medication?
