High HDL cholesterol
Poor machine was unable to calculate
LDL
but my triglycerides were o.8. I was told that HDL is bad when it is too high...so here wo go... what on earth am I supposed to do with this? I will go to my GP and get a proper blood test, but all advice online is how tomlower
LDL
and incraese HDL.

Decipher this cholesterol reading please
I know there are plenty of knowledgeable people reading these posts so can you decipher this please Chol 3.5 mmol/L,
LDL
, HDL 1.78 mmol/L,Chol:HDL ratio , Tri 0.51 mmol/L. I don’t understand this. I’m guessing my cholesterol reading is 3.5, but what are HDL and
LDL
readings individually?

HDL and LDL fine :) Lp(a) very high :(
Hello all, good and bad news :) Good - After a few years of slightly high HDL and
LDL
readings (as shown), my latest HDL and
LDL
results are normal. I'm 54, very active, not overweight, non-smoker, non-drinker. No medication.

LDL
3.89 HDL 1.89 TC 6.3 (should the
LDL
and HDL not add up) Triglycerides 1.48 Glucose 5 My BP is controlled with meds. I do not want to go on a statin. She wants me on one. What do you all think? Thanks so much.

Cholesterol levels
Hi to you all, my total cholesterol is 6.2, and because my HDL is 2.5 times better than my
LDL
my doctors have no concerns and statins have never been mentioned. However, if they were l would change my lifestyle before l would take statins.

Huge increase in LDL
At that time my
LDL
was 1.4, HDL 1.4, Tg 1.1, ratio 1.8 and total cholesterol 3.3. Bloods were done exactly 4 weeks after stopping the statins and my
LDL
has shot up to 3.7! I had a shock. HDL is now 1.3, Tg1.3, ratio 2.3 and total cholesterol is 5.6.

HDL - 1.5
LDL
- 6.8 TRIGLYCERIDES - 1.7 Total 8.3 risk factor 26% They want to start me on Statins asap. I am keen to avoid drugs and believe that some of the increased numbers above could actually be good cholesterol aka the eggs?

Low statin dose increased lipoprotein a significantly
Here's the thing, I lived for 30 years or more with my elevated total and
LDL
cholesterol levels and yet my CAC score remained zero. So, I feel like taking a statin that messes quite a bit with the lp(a) level may actually be more risky for me than living with an
LDL
in the 130s.

High Cholesterol
Total cholesterol 7.6 mmol/L HDL 1.22 mmol/AL Triglycerides 4.72 mmol/L They did not record
LDL
unfortunately. It was non-fasting. I was advised to seek advice from my GP and who has now asked for a formal blood test for Lipids inc Hba1c which I have yet to arrange.

Stopping ezetemibe
My cholesterol numbers are good (
LDL
1, ratio 1.9, total 2.5, triglycerides 0.4, HDL 1.3) so presumably that is why. No symptomatic side effects, though blood tests show blood sugars and liver enzymes up and kidney function a bit down.
