Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.

You have deranged lipid profile with such level of derangement, treatment with medicines is not required.

You should also get your blood sugar and thyroid profile done in case it has not been done yet.

I would advise you to:

1.Reduce your weight. Do jogging, yoga, exercises..

2.Avoid Fatty food in diet.

3.To consume potato, rice, oil, ghee, sweets, carbonated beverages in moderated amount only.

4. Avoid alcohol and smoking in case you do.

Get your lipid profile repeated after 3 months and write back to me with reports.

This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.

Stay Healthy.
Dr Anshul Varshney , MD
