Hello and welcome
This is the right age from where we can take precautions to prevent heart attack or Coronary Artery Disease. High BP and High lipid components are risk factors of CAD.
Now about the decision of taking medication. You have to take medications for such a high lipid components to prevent yourself from future complications. Once the cholesterol is normalized by medication you can maintain it by lifestyle and diet changes. But if it is genetic than you have to take the medication for life time. Changes you can follow to control lipid components are:
1. Stop Smoking and Alcohol in any form.
2. Avoid all type of fatty and oily food
3. Take baked food as much as you can.
4. Reduce your weight if you are overweight.
5. Do regular exercise for about 45 minutes daily.
6. Restrict salt intake.
Hope this will help you.
Best Wishes

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Basic treatment of dyslipidemia is decided by LDL and presence of risk factors according to ATP III guidelines.
Are you smoker?
Although your LDL is just 54 mg while triglycerides is 411, you should continue Tonact -TG for coming 3-4 months and go for repeat lipid profile after 3 months.
TG must be
You should remain in touch with your treating physician and should avoid high fat diet.
You should also loosen your weight (if overweight/ obese) and should perform physical activity.
At least 30 minutes of brisk walk is required 5 days in a week.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM
You are only 32 years,take care of all risk factors,If you are overweight try to maintain ideal weight.
If you smoke or drink ( Alcohol) please stop both.
Your Lipid profile is showing mainly high triglyceride level hence take care of diet and regular physical exercise should be taken up.As BP is on higher side reduce salt take fresh fruits and green vegetables.
In such case diabetes should be checked periodically by FBS and PPBS,and also check family history.
Next time get a Extended Lipid profile which includes Apolipoprotein a and b, LP(a) and Homocysteine levels.
Please take care of life style changes and diet and you can take prescribed medicine and can recheck Lipid profile after 2 months. The drug contains Atorvastatin and Finofibrate combination.
If you BP remains persistantly high you may have to take drug.
Take care
Good Luck
