Cubbie, you may have a genetic form of hypercholesterolaemia....
As long as the HDL is higher than the LDL, which should show up in the bloodtests, you have nothing to worry about... if it is not the case, you also have little to worry about as there are wonderful drugs that manage high cholesterol levels nowdays, they are the statin drugs. They all have side effects, like any other medication has, but wait until you have the results and let us know what the outcome is.
Joan, my count was 6.25 - but i need to have more blood tests tomorrow morning, so i fast tonight..to get a more accurate result...she said it was not too serious?? what do u think??
