A member asked:

Sir my cholestrol level is 249 & trigliseride 270. what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Higher than desired: Both your cholesterol and triglycerides are higher than desired. It would be a good idea to see your doctor for an evaluation of all risk factors. In the meantime, reduce your intake of saturated fats and carbohydrates, if you smoke - quit; if you are overweight - lose some weight. Start exercising with gradually unceasing vigour.
