Brief Answer:
It's just mild, no need to worry.

Detailed Answer:
hello,
It's just a mild mitral regurgitation and also rest all parameters like heart function and all is normal. So at this stage, no treatment or surgery is needed. However, you should get 1-2 yearly echo to monitor the regurgitation and heart function. Surgery will be done once it reaches severe. At this point, no need to worry.
This blood sugar was fasting or post meal or random. If it's random or post meal then it's a normal, if it's fasting, then it is slightly on a higher side, then you ll need 2 hr post meal sugar, HbA1c along with diet modification and regular exercise.
Your cholesterol is on higher side, so you will medicine like atorvastatin 10 mg for that, which you can get prescribed from local doctor. You should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly checked. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity atleast 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity.
