My Cholesterol Results - HELP
I am very confused. I had some blood work done back in November and my overall cholesterol was around 160 or so. I just had some recent blood work done and my results are crazy:
Overall: 236
LDL: 134
HDL: 176
Tri: 208
I have an appointment with my dr to go over these results next week but even though HDL is a GOOD cholesterol I have NEVER seen numbers that high! I typically run in the 70's. I'm a 35 year old woman that is relatively active and have had near perfect cholesterol my whole life. What can be causing this??
Thank you!
