My blood report shows triglycerides 271, HDL cholesterol 34, and LDL 81. Should I go for further tests?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I took a blood report voluntarily myself. Kindly see the report and tell me about my heart status. I feel some pain below my left chest. Is any sign in the blood report seen?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been following a healthy diet and exercising regularly, and I have successfully lost around 8 kg. I avoid sugar, use minimal olive oil, and include green vegetables and other healthy foods in my diet. Previously, I had fatty liver, but the related values have now returned to normal. However, despite my efforts, some values in my recent reports, specifically HDL, triglycerides, and LDL cholesterol are not improving. I am 28 years old, 5.6 inch tall, and currently weigh 68 kg. I have attached my reports. Could you please help me understand why these values are not coming down and if there is anything else I should be doing?
