Hi, yes I think it's fine and Dr. would have said if it wasn't. Don't worry about it! Avoid junk food

Hi I suffer with high cholesterol and have done for quite a few years now .. My highest level was 9.6 .. I am allergic to Statins and after trying me on too many different ones I was referred to see a Cardiologist. I had to have an ECG and it was found that my heart was fine. They prescribed Bezalip, Ezetrol and Omacor (an omega 3 supplement) and my levels came down to 6.5, I am due to have my levels checked again soon and have been told I would be prescribed an injection that I administer myself called either Repatha or Praluent. They both work in the same way as statins without the horrible side effects I had (Blisters in my ears down to my neck and in my mouth and on my scalp} Hives all over my body. Your level is quite low in comparison, Cardiology told me that 5 was slightly high as 4.5 or lower is a much better level. To keep it low try the omega 3 supplements and watch what you are eating I will add a link here that I was given .. heartuk.org.uk/cholesterol-... .. Hope this helps calm your mind, take care x
