What Do The LDL, HDL And Triglycerides On Test Indicate?
My LDL is 81, HDL is 124, and triglycerides are 82, but my total cholesterol was 205. My family doctors tells me I have nothing to worry about. Is that true, even with a 205 total number? And what makes that total number anyway when my others numbers are well within optimal range?

Hello
Report suggests borderline high cholesterol level.
You need further investigations like complete liver function test,random blood sugar,ultrasound of abdomen.
In this stage,I only suggest diet and life style modification.
You also need regular follow up.
You should increase your physical activity and go for brisk walking,exercise.
You should avoid fried and fatty food.
Take plenty of fibres in diet.
Take Care
