Brief Answer: please see details Detailed Answer: Dear Sir Your triglycerides are high but LDL and HDL cholesterol are within normal limits. Since the levels are only 442 mg %, it does not require drug therapy as yet. You need to follow only life style modifications. These include optimal weight (body mass index of 23; Body mass index is weight in kilograms divided by square of height in meters ), cessation of alcohol intake & smoking, daily walk for ~45 minutes (in consultation with your local physician), and not maintaining a diet totally on carbohydrates. Paradoxically , triglycerides rise occurs when we exclusively take carbohydrates or cereals and avoid fats (especially unsaturated ones altogether).You can also consult a dietitian for same. The Vitamin D levels are low. You need to take weekly supplements for 8 weeks or an injection once only. Your local physician will give you prescription for same. Try to expose your skin to sun and eat mushrooms. Hope this helps. Feel free to discuss further. Sincerely Sukhvinder
