Hello
Your reports suggest that you are having high LDL cholesterol with iron deficiency anemia and very low VIT D in your body.
You require a an iron therapy along with VIT D supplementation.
For decreasing your bad LDL cholesterol you may require a statin medication along with daily regular exercise regime.
For iron,you can take cap fefol once daily for 2 months.
Take a deworming tablet like albendazole 400 mg once before you start iron therapy.
For VIT D you can take calcirol sachets once a week for 2 months and then you can take one sachet once a month for one year.
For anticholestetol medication you can consult your doctor
Get your blood values tested again after 2 months to monitor the effectiveness of medications and further course.
Thanks
