Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
Your Lipid profile shows normal total cholesterol and LDL, the TG(Triglycerides) are slightly elevated as desirable is less than 150 mg/dl,the other abnormality is low HDL which is good cholesterol.
Looking to this report you do not require any medicine but take care of diet with adequate amount of fats and carbohydrates reduction and regular exercise with avoiding alcohol and smoking lifestyle changes and repeat test after 3 months.
You should understand every investigation is to be correlated to history and clinical examination.It laso depend on your age and other risk factors.
Please visit your physician and take proper advice about lifestyle modifications.
