Get an evaluation: Looking at the lipid panel out of context of other cardiovascular risk factors is useless. Need to know what your blood pressure is, blood sugar, family history etc. See a doctor and have them do a cardiovascular risk assessment. These values have meaning when the "total picture" is viewed.
