Thank you very much for contacting healthcare magic.

Your report show that your triglycerides level and LDL level is more than normal limits.

In over body two type of lipoprotein HDL and LDL.
High density lipoprotein HDL is helpful for body and Low density lipoprotein LDL more level harmful for body.

More LDL level may cause heart disease problem.
Atherosclerosis may cause of more LDL level.
Chanses of heart attack is more of triglycerides level is more.

Try to decrease your cholesterol level.
Avoid fatty food and oily foods.
Avoid alcohol and smoking .
Do regular exercise more than 30 minutes.
Eat fresh ftuits and green vegetables.

Check your blood pressure also because more obesity may cause high blood pressure.
If blood pressure is high than consent your doctor and start antihypertensive drugs.
