What Causes High HDL And Low LDL Levels In Blood?
I have always had an extremely high HDL and low LDL ... and the one has lowered and the one gone higher. What a shock to see the difference. Now the LDL is 95 and the HDL 75. Scares me ... I ve got work to do! What would make them change so much in just one year? We eat out a lot, so that s probably part of it. Is it possible to get rid of the placque that s there now, or do we just try not to add more? Go off of carbohydrates and sugar? I m sorry for all of these questions! I didn t realize this costs money ... so just disregard.

hi
thank you for asking your concern and welcome to hcm. i would like to tell you that your hdl and ldl levels are completely normal. moreover your hdl value are very good more than 60 is actually protective for heart and you have 73.
