No: If all your tests are normal and at your young age, I would not get additional testing for now. Most importantly though, your lipid panel ought to have been checked and you should work towards optimizing your cholesterol levels to the best through heart healthy lifetsyles. If you have already adopted a healthy regimen, exercise and eating well and all negative tests (+ good lipid panel), all good.
