I recently had general tests done at Thyrocare, and the report shows that my cholesterol level is high. Could you please check my report and advise? I do not want to do another test and just want guidance based on this report.

I am submitting my lipid profile report and would like you to review it. Could you please explain the details

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am attaching my lipid profile reports, one from yesterday and one from January, so that a comparison can be made. Could you please advise if there anything concerning in these reports? Does obesity directly contribute to an increase in LDL? I am a vegetarian. How can I increase HDL and lower LDL naturally? My HDL has been around 50 to 53 over the past two years. Do I need medication to improve my cholesterol levels, or can lifestyle changes suffice?
