Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Yes, this puts you at a higher risk of plaque formation in heart. First step is you should get your lipid profile tested and have a very lifestyle. Restrict oily, fatty and high calorie meals. Also avoid smoking if any and regular exercises. At this time, probably you are not having significant disease but you can have it in future.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
