Not too good.: HDL is acceptable, but LDL is much too high and does pit you at vascular risk. It needs to be lowered - diet, exercise, weight reduction, medications.

Cholesterol: Current guidelines state that if the LDL is > 180 you should be treated with a statin to reduce the risk for heart attack and stroke. Ask your doctor about this.

Hyperlipidemia: The cholesterol is high, based on other risk factors it needs to be treated. It is recommended to have the LDL less than 100

High lipid panel: Looks like your cholesterol and LDL is high. Normal cholesterol should be under 200, LDL under 100. If you are a diabetic it should be even lower. Your HDL is good- it should be above 40 for males. You may want to focus on a low cholesterol diet and discuss other treatment options with you doctor.
