Yes you do. Your LDL should be 2.0 mmol/l or less. Read my post 'Coming Off Statins'. Also read the article below.

It's too general a test to be really accurate!

There is a reason for your bold test, please go back to your GP and ask for a risk analysis and for a full explanation on what need to be improved for better blood results.!!

If in doubt ask for a cardiologist referral to go through some stress ALALYSIS and other investigation if necessary.

food intake control, drinks intake control, watching out for hidden sugar and free sugar in food , regular exercise cane help towards a healthy life.

May be a life style change is necessary.
