More research needed: We have long thought that high HDL is protective against cardiovascular disease and encouraged patients to get it has high as possible.Newer studies, however, show that it's not how high the HDL is, but rather how well it works to prevent the inflammation that causes CVD.There isn't a test to test this yet.Try to lower inflammation in the body-no smoking, exercise, plant-rich diet, and weight loss

Not too high.: I'm not aware of any health risks associated with a very high HDL like yours. I'd assume this to be very healthy.
