A member asked:

Cholesterol 156. triglycerides 65. ldl 96. hdl 38. how bad is this? i'm on propranolol

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal: Your values are normal. The HDL is a bit on the low side - you can increase it and your health by exercising every day (at least 5 days a week). Try somthing you enjoy like a sport: golf, tennis, handball, baseball etc. Walking with an mp3 player is my favorite!
