Hello,
I have gone through your query and I understand your concern..
As per your reports cholesterol levels are on higher side..along that triglycerides are Also raised .
It indicates you have higher cholesterol in your system so I would suggest you to start Tab Atrovas 10 mg at night after physician consultation.
You can Also take omega capsules after physician consultation.
Along that I would suggest you to drink lots of water, avoid fatty foods, avoid junk and sweet items, do regular exercise,cardiac activities, yoga , meditation...these all things will help to reduce cholesterol naturally.
