I've just got my test results and it says my triglycerides are at 186 mgdL. I'm a bit worried about whether this is within the normal range or not. Also, the report shows my LDL is 99.80. Could you help me understand what these numbers mean for my health?

based on your triglyceride level of 186 mgdl, it is considered borderline high. The normal range for triglycerides is typically less than 150 mgdl. As for your LDL level of 99.80, it is within the optimal range. To help lower your triglyceride levels, you can consider taking Atorvastatin 10mg once daily. It is important to also follow a healthy diet and lifestyle to manage your lipid levels effectively.

I've been told I have mild left ventricular hypertrophy after a 2D echo test. Is this something that can be reversed if I manage to keep my blood pressure around 12080?

Ideally its irreversible,but in some cases when BP is maintained under control with good and heathy life style,its observed to be reversible
