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?

LDL is very high and HDL is low. Diet, exercise, and omega 3 can help. If no change in 3 months, lipid lowering medicine may be needed.

Sir, I have done my lipid profile test. Total cholesterol is 171, triglycerides 165, HDL 33, LDL 105, and VLDL 33. Please suggest, is this really dangerous and should I take medicines?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My recent test results show: triglycerides 350, uric acid 9.6, SGPT 93, and SGOT 65. Can these conditions contribute to erectile dysfunction? For context, I consume alcohol about 5 times a week and smoke 2 to 3 cigarettes per day.
