Hi doctor,
I am a 6 feet tall male, who is 31 years old, and I weigh 88 kg. I recently got a lipid profile done, and the report showed my HDL to be 23 mg/dL and LDL to be 80 mg/dL. I feel a slight left-sided chest pain sometimes. I gained 20 kg in the last two years. I do not drink or smoke. What should I do now?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Your lipid profile is good, except your HDL (high-density lipoprotein) and LDL (low-density lipoprotein) are low. Low LDL is good, so do not worry. As you gained 20 kg in the last two years and for mild chest pains, I suggest you get the following tests done:
- Free T4, T3, TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) test.
- ECG (electrocardiogram).
- TMTÂ (treadmill test).
- A cardiac problem is unlikely, but just to be sure, please get these tests done. Until then, I suggest you try taking capsule Pan It (Pantoprazole and Itopride), one tablet before breakfast for four weeks.

Hi doctor,
Thank you for replying. What should be my diet for increasing HDL?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
The diet to increase HDL is as follows:
- Use olive oil in salad, sauce, and food when cooked. Sprinkle chopped olive in salads and soup.
- You can also use peanut and canola oil. Avoid saturated fat like ghee, butter, animal and dairy fat.
- Increase high-fiber fruits like apple, pear, avocado, etc.
- Drink cranberry juice.
- Add beans, legumes, whole grain bran, cereals, brown or wild rice, oat, etc.
- Take nuts like almonds, peanuts, etc.
- Eat fish like salmon, tuna, sardines, etc., as it contains omega-3 fatty acids.
- Try to consume soy-based products.
