Don't worry: Worry won't do any good. Aside from the lower HDL your numbers are good. Just be sure to keep your weight normal, exercise 5-6 x / week, don't smoke, don't drink much and keep your stress levels manageable. That will be your surest defense against heart disease.

Depends: The interpretation of a lipid panel differs from patient to patient. All of the above levels are acceptable in a person with no medical problems. Patient with health issues such as heart disease and diabetes are encouraged to have lower LDL levels. If you have no other health problems then rest assured!
