I had my blood test in September and got my HDL 37 and LDL 112. Is this OK? If not, how can I increase my HDL level naturally?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Your HDL is 37, which is slightly below the ideal range, while your LDL is 112, which is acceptable but could be lower. To boost HDL naturally, focus on regular exercise, healthy fats (nuts, seeds, olive oil), and cutting back on sugar and refined carbs. If you smoke, quitting also helps improve HDL. Recheck your lipid profile in 3 to 6 months to track progress.

Take a Lipid Profile Test Test or Take a LFT (Liver Function) Test Test

My recent blood report shows HDL 30 and LDL 240. Is this alarming? I have started a proper diet to increase HDL and reduce LDL from a week. How effective is this in improving my cholesterol levels, and what more should I do?

Attached is my report. I am very paranoid after seeing all news and I have a desk job plus PCOD. I tend to be inconsistent with workout and have anxiety due to PCOD. I stress eat at times. I do not smoke and rarely drink alcohol. I keep having thoughts that I might get a heart attack which creates anxiety because I feel I am not doing anything and this can happen as I respect fitness a lot. Now my LDL is the highest. Is it too late? I have now started walking daily and eating good food. What more can I do to not feel these thoughts? Are any further tests needed as per my reports? I sometimes feel chest tightness due to anxiety or is it in my mind? I am overweight by at least 15 kgs, my weight is 75 kgs and my height is 5.3. Do I need to take any medicines for cholesterol? Please tell me.
