Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i recently had a physical. i am 27 and 129 lbs about 5,8". My overall cholesterol overall was like 149 or 143. My HDL is 22 (low) and my triglycerides are 155 (high). then my vitamin D was extremely low. What health implications are posed here? Like what does this mean?
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your triglycerides level is slightly high. However your HDLcholesterol level is very low. HDL is a good cholesterol. It is protective in heart disease. Low HDL is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease. You should take low fat diet with high amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids. repeat your cholesterol level after a month. 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.
