Just got my Lipid Panel annual as part of my wellness check under Medicare. Results are:
Chol 166
Trig 58
HDL 56 (should be >61)
LDL (Calculated) 98
VLDL 12
CHD Risk 2.96 (should be 4.0 - 7.30)
My Doc has not commented yet, and I am wondering about the low numbers for the HDL and CHD Risk. They appear to be marginally low based on the ranges.
I am 74+, take no cholesterol meds, take only a 25 mg BP med.
The rest of my blood work is normal except testosterone is at the low level of the range.
Besides asking Doc about Low T, should there be any worries or questions about the low numbers in the table above?
