Hello

Your findings suggests raised cholesterol level.
Other findings like HDL,VLDL and triglyceride level is within normal limit.

You may need few more investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver function test,renal function test,ultrasound of abdomen,urine RE/ME.

I suggest tablet atorvastatin 10 mg single dose at night.It will control cholesterol level in blood.

You should increase your physical activity in the form of exercise and brisk walk.
You should avoid fried and saturated fat.Take lot of fruits and vegetables in your diet.
Persistently increased cholesterol may cause heart disease.

Take Care
