Hi
Thanks for your query
Your LDL cholesterol is on the higher side. The good news is that your HDL cholesterol looks fine.
Please see a physician with these reports. He can do your complete assessment and determine if you need any medications for the elevated LDL cholesterol or whether dietary intervention would be sufficient.
Hope this helps
Good luck
