Brief Answer:
Cholesterol, Yes! Others need to be controlled!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.

I am happy to know you benefitted from this health camp. I will say fro blood sugar and blood pressure, they are normal and really need nothing but monitoring. However, regular exercise, weight loss, low lipids and salt content in diet, with much fruits,vegetables and fruits will help keep you healthy.

Cholesterol is high. I will recommend a follow up detailed assessment now and treatment if need be. We need a complete lipid panel at this time to understand what is really going on.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
