What Does High Triglyceride And LDL Indicate?

Hi I am 40 yrs old, my triglyceride is 270, and ldl is borderline high and hdl is 29. I feel pain in left side of chest at times and also in left hand. I visited doctor and gone through ecg, echo and tmt all came normal and doctor says there is no issue. he only advised to take stanlip. two years back my triglyceride was 300. I took medicines for few months then stopped. Should I refer for second opinion? what is the risk. I have acidity too.

Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Life style changes – diet & exercise / stopping tobacco & alcohol – form the base line
Drugs should be added on / and taken life long –because inheritance is the basic issue
Low HDL, elevated LDL are risk factors for atherosclerosis and its complications...

Take care     
Wishing all well
God bless
