Hi & Welcome to HCM.
Incomplete data like BP?
As per the given results of lipid profile,
HDL Cholesterol level is decreased (Normal: 40-60 mg/dL)
LDL Cholesterol level is INCREASED (Normal: Less than 100 mg/dL)
Triglycerides level is INCRASED (Normal: Less than 150 mg/dL).
The findings are suggestive of Mixed hyperlipidemia (Increased LDL Cholesterol and Triglycerides).
Such patients need to reduce their lipid levels by drugs like Atorvastatin with Fibrates along with certain life style modifications such as avoiding alcohol, smoking, fatty meals, taking a healthy balanced diet, plenty of fruits and vegetables and daily exercise.
