General & Family Physician 's  Response
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.I understand your query.
Brief answer: Immediate medical attention is not needed,but you should be bit concerned.
Detailed answer:Your thyroid profile,cholesterol levels are within normal limit but triglyceride level is bit higher(recommended below 150mg).If i am your physician,would advise initially to follow life style modifications like increased physical activity,weight management,avoiding smoking and certain diet restrictions(like to avoid processed foods,animal fatty foods and to encourage fiber rich food,fruits,vegetables for 3 months.After that,i follow up with another lipid profile test and consider adding low dose statin drug if still triglycerides are high.Hope i have answered your query.If any further questions,happy to answer you.Take care.
