Help - Cholesterol Test.............
Hey there,
So, I have never - until this week had my cholesterol tested, and it's never been an issue in my family either.
My doctor decided that since I'm now 40 I should have it done - well, the results for my cholesterol was 9.---? I had a whack of blood word done, and nothing else was off - nada / nothing / zero!
He was has sent me back for re-tests as he said it **could** have been a tainted sample, but that it was a result that would require medication.
I've done a bit of reading - albeit briefly about how various results are inconclusive or at best don't paint an accurate picture, but I am at a loss.
I am hovering at about 145-148lbs, I'm pretty active, have no other health issues, not on ANY medication, gave up smoking recently, gave up booze 15 months ago, and I follow a LC diet for the most part. I walk alot, ski through the winter, and cycle through the summer. Do not get pain anywhere in my chest and apart from a dodgy spine and generally weak ligaments, I'm healthy....
Worried - so appreciate some advice. Doc on vacation now till April so I won't know the results till then anyway, so I'm trying not to panic.
Thank you!!!!
