I've just had the results back from a fasting blood test. I have not had one of these for nearly 20 years. The last doctor told me last time that my cholesterol was high so it was no surprise when I was told it was high now he wanted to get me on cholesterol lowering drugs back then but I wasn't interested. My new doctor is quite concerned and also wants to get me on cholesterol lowering drugs. I'm not keen on the idea at all.
What do you think to these results? I'm in Australia so maybe it is measured differently elsewhere?
Total Chol: __ 10.0 mmol/L
Triglycerides: _ 1.0 mmol/L
HDL- C: _____ 2.0 mmol/L
LDL - C: _____ 7.5 mmol/L
Non HDL - C __ 8.0 mmo/L
Chol/HDL ratio: 5.0
Btw, I don't know if it relevant but I'm 59, not overweight at all, very active and have good blood pressure.
