I'm a bit concerned about my recent test results and was hoping you could help clarify. I did a 2D echo test, but I'm not sure what counts as normal results for that. Also, I ran for 12 minutes on a stress test machine and I'm wondering what the normal results should look like for that. Can you explain what these tests mean and what I should be looking out for?

I'm a bit concerned because my LDL levels are slightly high. I've attached my recent lab results for you to review. Could you please advise on what steps I should take? Is medication necessary in this case?

Hi Sir, if your LDL levels are slightly high, you can consider taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-20 mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any medication. Regular exercise and a healthy diet low in saturated fats can also help in managing LDL levels.
