Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I am Dr. Jaydeep and I am pleased to assist you.
I have gone through all the blood reports. The only value which is elevated is LDL. The other parameters such as cholesterol, VLDL, HDL are good, so it is not a matter of concern.
You just need to do some lifestyle modification, avoid fatty and spicy diet, and more importantly exercise daily for 30-40 minutes. Brisk walking for that duration will be really helpful, in bringing LDL down. You do not need statins as of now.
Hope this was helpful,
Regards.
