I am 16 years old and my weight is 81 kg. I am a PCOS patient. I did a lipid profile test, and some values are slightly increased. I am attaching my report for reference. Please check and tell me if anything is serious. Also, my ESR is a bit high at 67, while the normal range is 0 to 30. Please tell me if this is anything serious?
