Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
It is always better to see any investigation in clinical correlation, still after going through your investigations you have mildly elevated Total cholesterol it should be Please repeat lipid profile after 3 months.
One thing your Vitamin D level is low so take vitamin D supplement by getting prescription from your doctor,also take diet containing vitamin D like milk curd also ensure some exposure to sunlight which give vitamin D.
Please take care
Good Luck
Hello,
There appears to be three issues in your query
1... You are overweight
2... Your lipid profile is slightly high
3... Very low VIT D levels.
Being overweight and deficient in VIT D level in itself carries a risk of cardiovascular and diabetes in future.
If you control weight by exercises and calorie reduction,your lipid levels will automatically become all right.There is no need of any medication for this.
For low VIT D,you must talk to your doctor for the prescription of VIT D along with calcium supplements.
Increase your intake of milk,curd,cheese and green leafy vegetables.
Exposure to sun specially in morning between 8 to 10 and evening 4 to 6 is good for serum VIT D levels.
Thanks
