Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
In simple words, LDL is a bad cholesterol & HDL is good cholesterol. Your LDL level is 132 & is borderline high. Your HDL is 34 & this is lower than normal. These both means that there is an increased risk of heart disease in you.
You are advised to taking cholesterol controlling medicines such as statins. Dietary management of cholesterol is also advised. Consumption of saturated fats should be lowered. Intake of fibers in diet should also be increased.
Refer to your physician
Hope this information helps
