Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have low hdl cholesterol and high ldl cholesterol. It should not be there.
You should take low fat diet with high amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids. you can take atorvastatin or pravastatin like drug if needed according to your doctor's advice. so don't worry. Just be relaxed. Follow diet and repeat the test after three months. Then consult physician and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
