Brief Answer:
Hair fall and management.

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome to HCM.
I have read your query. I have seen the attached reports also.
I understand your concern.
Hair fall can be due to number of reasons :
1) Anemia
2) Thyroid disorder
3) Nutritional deficiencies
4) Hormonal
5) Environmental factors
6)Idiopathic

I will advise you to get your Hemoglobin levels, thyroid profile and serum ferritin levels done.
If any of the above mentioned abnormalities is found, treatment will depend on it.
Whatever cause is found, I prefer to advise vitamins and minerals containing tablets mainly meant for hair growth like Selenium, calcium pantothenate, biotin.
Perfectly is one of the formulation like this only.You may continue this.
Visit your doctor so that he can examine you and may order test for you.
I hope it helps.
Thanks

Brief Answer:
Get treated.

Detailed Answer:
Hi. I have again studied the reports. You have calcium and iron deficiency. So that might be the reason for your hair fall.
I suppose you should be started on the treatment for the same.
You should see your Physician who would presribe you iron and calcium supplements.
As far as HDL is concerned you just need to keep your diet Healthy and carry on with exercises. Get it repeated after 3 months.
I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
