Doctor: Hello, thanks for posting a question.Your lipid profile test variables are increased. Some drastic measures have to be taken to bring the values down 1. You have to start a diet plan. Cut off junk food and eat vegetables, fruits nuts, fish etc. 2. Register at a gym and start 3-4 days exercise plan including a 30 minute's cardio exercise. 3. Avoid harmful habits such as smoking and drinking. If you adjust to these changes, hopefully, there will be significant changes in a month plus. Warm regards
