General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for your query.

Your values indicate a dyslipidemia disorder.
Would you clarify a few things for me, please?

*how old are you?
*what is your height and weight?
*do you smoke or consume alcohol?
*do you have any other medical issues or take any medications?

With a strong family history of heart disease & diabetes, I suspect you have dyslipidemia (problems in how your body metabolizes lipids)

I recommend :
-a physician consult
-blood tests (blood glucose levels, complete blood count, Thyroid stimulating hormone, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, c-reactive protein, kidney and liver function tests)
-electrocardiogram and echocardiogram
-chest x-ray
-medications and lifestyle modifications to improve lipid levels and reduce risk of heart disease
- blood thinners
-urine analysis

Please follow closely with your doctor's advice.
Based on the above a risk evaluation will be done and appropriate treatment will be initiated.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Wish you good health
