Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your triglycerides level is slightly high. However your HDL cholesterol level is very low. HDL is a good cholesterol. It is protective in heart disease. Low HDL is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease. You should take low fat diet with high amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
repeat your cholesterol level after a month.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
