    Advice on Blood tests-HLD vs NON HDL

    Quick overview

    Im 60 , reasonably healthy, do not smoke, drink only occasionally, mainly vegetarian diet, no family history if heart disease. My died had a stroke at 87 but all other grandparents lived to the 90's or 100's. My mu is 95 and lives with us

    Went for blood test as I haven't had one for many years and the results are below

    serum total cholesterol - 6.4 mmol/L **
    serum triglycerides - 1.4 mmol/L
    serum HDL Cholesterol - 1.55 mmol/L
    Non-HDL Cholesterol - 4.9 mmol/L **
    serum cholesterol/HDL ratio - 4.1


    ..should I be worried ?

    if so what can I do to reduce the bad cholesterol

    thanks

    Didn't the doctor suggest anything? I don't actually know what the numbers mean though

    Hi

    We can't read blood tests results I am afraid. You need to ask the doctor.

    Do you suffer with anxiety as well then?
