Should i worry about low triglycerides at 29 or high ldl at 124? tc is 211, hdl 81. family history chd. 42 female, 5'3", 125 lbs, very active.

Probably not: An LDL of 124 is not high if your only risk factor is a family history of premature heart disease (first degree male relative in his 40s or female in her 50s). If you don't smoke or have high blood pressure or diabetes, your goal LDL is 160. If you have 2 or more risk factors, it's 130. The goal is 100 if you have heart disease or diabetes.

LDL Cholesterol: In a world of good cholesterol and bad, LDL cholesterol is the bad boy of the two. Ldl collects in the walls of blood vessels, causing the blockages of atherosclerosis. Higher LDL levels put you at greater risk for a heart attack from a sudden blood clot in an artery narrowed by atherosclerosis. Getting your LDL cholesterol checked helps determine your risk for heart disease.
