Elevated cholesterol requires dietary changes, exercise, and sometimes medication. You should take a Lipid Profile and HbA1c to guide management based on risk factors.

Take a Lipid Profile Test Test or Take a HbA1c Test (Hemoglobin A1c) Test

How can I reduce my triglycerides and LDL cholesterol?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am a 34 year old, non smoker, non alcoholic person. My current triglyceride level is 367 mg/dL. My doctor has advised me to take Tonact TG. I want to know if Tonact TG can increase blood sugar levels. Please advise. Thank you.

Hi, I recently did a regular health check up, and my LDL cholesterol is high. I have attached the report for reference. Could you please advise whether I should consult a doctor for further evaluation, or can I try lifestyle modifications for some time before seeking medical advice?
