Answering your question good or bad is not simple.

You need to ask your doctor or practice nurse to do a risk analysis and offer full explanation using you medical records.

Without having any other information it appears to be good.

Are you on statins?

Do you exercise daily?

Are you a normal weight?

Do you have any other medical conditions?

Not what you're looking for?
