Hi, I am a 45 Years old Male, (height 5 8 , weight 83 kgs), from India. Recently i got my lipid profile test done at some camp conducted by Thyrocare Labs , which is quite renowned company in india. Actually I gave my blood sample within 45 minutes after having morning sweet tea with bread-butter slice and some biscuits. I got the report as follows: Total Cholestrol: 338 HDL:56.56 Triglicyrides:800 LDL:182.5 VLDL:160 The results gave me a big shock and has put me in the anxiety and depressed state esp because of very high Tg. Though i exercise a lot, work out thrice a week mainly cardiac exercise, do jogging on treadmil for 20 to 30 min with an average speed of 8 kms per hour comfortably.. I am also suffering from Hypochondriasis since last 7 years and on medication as follows: Sertraline 100mg twice daily: Alprozolom 0.25 mg twice daily Ativan 1mg once at bed time Telsartan 20mg once daily (for mild hypertension) Bisoprolol Fumarate 2.5 mg once daily (for palpitation) My question to you is 1) Can these result vary too much or upto what extent if done with 10-12 hours fasting?? 2) Are the values in the above results technically co-related in terms of numbers??, 3) can any of my present medication has the side effect of increasing bad fats in my blood?? Thanks and Awaiting your expert advice....Rajeev
