No, it is not yet in the danger zone. It will come under the danger zone if your levels goes above 200mg/dl

Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...

Take a Apollo Basic Hormone Check Test or Take a Free Prostatic Specific Antigen (FPSA)- Serum Test

I have high cholesterol and would like guidance on how to control it. I have attached my report for reference. Could you also advise on the possible side effects and long term complications if it is not controlled?
