Your cholesterol and triglycerides are high, and HDL is low. Start lifestyle changes: avoid fried foods, sugary drinks, and red meat, eat fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, exercise 30 min daily, and maintain a healthy weight. If high cholesterol runs in your family or you have other health risks, medication may be needed. Repeat a Lipid Profile after 3 months to check improvement. Consult your doctor for further treatment planning.

How to lower my cholesterol and triglycerides in two months?
Answered by Apollo Doctors
I was diagnosed with grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, and my blood pressure has generally been low for the last several years. Does this have any serious cause? My LDL and triglyceride levels are also above the normal range.
