Yes of course your cholesterol and triglycerides levels are high. Your LDL level is high which is considered as bad cholesterol. It increase the risk of coronary event and other vascular events.so you need to concerns about that. Consult physician. atorvastatin is helpful in this condition. take 10/20 mg atorvastatin once a day after consulting your physician. Also control your diet. Take more amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids with low fat diet.
