Should i be worried about a 130 cholesterol level?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably OK: Hi. The total cholesterol number is of VERY limited utility. Better to know your whole profile (includes triglycerides, HDL, and LDL). However, with a total cholesterol of 130, it would be unlikely for you to have a bad profile.
