See below: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your cholesterol is higher than desired and you should consult your doctor for advice regarding diet, exercise and may be medication. Wish you good health!
