i need help - my lipid profile
by mrs. NNA
total cholesterol 229 hdl 74 triglycerides 51 ldl is 145 blood sugar (FBS) 108 What is your advice for me on this profile email: merrymee2002@yahoo.com ANSWER: Hi Mrs.NNA, Your lipid profile seems to be ok to me, except for your LDL cholesterol, which tends to go high. However, if you conduct a healthy lifestyle and follow a healthy diet, I am sure you won't have problems with your lipid profile and blood sugar. Your total cholesterol seems to be a little bit high, but I think it is because of LDL. Meanwhile, your triglycerides seem to be at the lowest borderline limit. I do not see something for you to worry about. Unless, you have any other disease or condition, or you are taking any drug that I am not aware of that can explain your lipid profile. On the other hand, if you really are worried, talk to your doctor for further advice as mine is only general one as I lack the data in your medical records, which your doctor has. Relax. Even though you might get bad results, your positive attitude can do miracles. All the best! Dr.Alba |
