Whenever I do lipid test of mine, I found that my vldl comes around 60, TG comes around 280 & total cholesterol around 220. HDL & LDL comes within limit. Is it time to go to medication or some lifestyle changes will do better. Thank you.

VLDL is not measured, it is calculated by dividing your triglycerides by 5. Triglycerides are manufactured in liver from alcohol, sugar, jaggery, fruits, grains and starchy foods like potato that you eat. If you take a balanced diet with more traditional foods like nuts cheese and traditional cooking recipes your triglycerides and VLDL will normalize. Please call me if you need more info.
