No Heart Attack is going to happen to you, actually you have taken your problem so seriously that has made you to be preoccupied, obsessed of this problem leading to some Panic Attack type of thing. you are doing your level best to come out of your problem, this is enough. Go on following your routine, check up at interval by your Doctor, have prescribed medicines and diet & ENJOY LIFE. DR B P SINHA, PSYCHIATRIST

you are having increased levels of cholesterol (hypercholesteremia),triglycerides(hypertriglyceridimia)&VLDL(bad cholesterol).
TheLDL(bad cholesterol) & HDL(good cholesterol )are within normal levels.
Your ecg & echo are normal.
your age is 25 years
find your weight & height
get your body mass index(BMI) by formula weight(in kg)/(height in meters square)
if your BMI is within 25, you need not worry ,if more than 28, then you are over weight & reduce weight. Rule out family history of hyper-cholesteremia,,& hyper-lipidemia
Diet, exercise, salt free food &stress-free life style are important
Take less of corbohydrates, less fats & more proteins.
Take more of garlic, onion ,ginger & turmeric in your regular food.
Eat more sprouted pulses, egg white,fish & avoid yellow portion of egg & red chicke n
Maintain stress free life style by doing pranayama(breathing exercises) & meditation
Daily do morning walk for 20 to 30 minutes.
Avoid smoking, alcoholism.
Find out your fasting blood sugar level
do this regularly for 3- 6 months & if levels does not come down i will prescribe drugs

Hi well come to HCM.
Your report does show high level of triglyceride,LDL and but does not mean you are
going to get heart attack.It just indicate that you have one risk factor for coronary
heart disease. But you should feel lucky that what you have is in the list of correctable risk factors.It canbe very well corrected with drugs,diet ad exercise. Thanks

Hi Himanshu,
Yes, your lipid profile shows significantly raised cholestrol levels.Your cholestrol level should read as follows:-
total cholestrol--S.Triglceride---LDL---VLDL---HDL is fine.
If you are taking medicines as prescribed by your doctor,the values will gradually come down.Kindly eat kless of oily foods and increase your fruit and vegetable intake.I also suggest that you should have a few nuts like badam and walnuts daily and go for brisk walk daily for atleast 35 to 45 minutes.You have not mentioned your height & weight,else I could have suggested you your ideal weight.You can also opt for yoga as an alternate way to bring your cholestrol to normal levels and reduce your anxiety.
