Brief Answer:
Abnormal Reports.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the reports.
Sorry for the delay.
I have gone through the reports. All are within normal limits except serum Triglycerides, VLDL, Vitamin D3 and TMT.
The Triglycerides and VLDL are raised. The usual treatment for raised cholesterol would be Statin group of drugs but I would advise you to control it through regular physical exercise and diet restrictions. And get a repeat Lipid profile done after 3 months. If the levels are still raised then you need to start with statins.
Vitamin D3 levels are low. For this you need to take calcium tablets 500mg once a day and vitamin D supplements like D- Rise sachets once a week for 6 weeks. And get it repeated after 2 months. If the levels are still low then you need to continue the supplements further.
Regarding your TMT tests, it suggests that there is exercise induced ischemia. This means that when you stress your heart there is decrease in blood supply to some of the tissues of the heart. For this you need to see a cardiologist who will advise you to go for ECHO of the heart and if required angiogram to know if there is any blockages in the vessels supplying blood to the heart.
Follow these instructions which will help you in improving your health status:
1. Regular physical exercises every morning from 7 to 8 A.M., if it's bright day in your place. This will keep you fit along with increase your sunlight exposure which helps in increase in production of Vitamin D.
2. Consume plenty of water, fruit juices and green leafy vegetables.
3. Avoid fatty and oily foods. Keep a gap of atleast 2hrs between dinner and going to bed.
4. Consume diet rich in calcium like Cheese, Yogurt, Milk, Sardines, Dark leafy greens like spinach, XXXXXXX turnips, and collard greens, Fortified cereals such as Raisin XXXXXXX Corn Flakes, Soybeans and ragi.
5. See a Cardiologist who will examine you and will advise you ECHO and if required angiogram. Blood thinners like Aspirin would also be advised.
Hope this answers your query. If any further questions, will be happy to help you.
Regards.
