lipid panel details

annual today, blood work came back after i left doc's office. i took a peak at my results. please help me interpret until i can speak with my doc.

Cholesterol, Total 227 mg/dL 140 - 200 mg/dL (out of range)

Triglycerides 43 mg/dL 35 - 150 mg/dL

HDL 68 mg/dL >45 mg/dL

LDL Calculated 150 60 - 135 (out of range)

Total Chol / HDL Ratio 3.34 0.00 - 4.98


i have lost about 15 pounds since earlier this year. i feel better than i have felt in a very long time, both physically and mentally. i work out 4 days a week.

any concerns with the numbers i have posted? google says i have high cholesterol, but i also know that my normal may not be someone's else normal. high cholesterol does run in my family. am i really that "high?"

to end on a positive note, what are some positives with my scores?

i am oblivious when it comes to this. i just show up annually to get checked. last year, for reference, my cholesterol was 199 with the range being from 140 - 200 as acceptable. and my ldl last year was 123 with the range being from 60 - 135 as acceptable. my tryglcerides last year were 65 and now they are 43.

also are there any supplements i could look at taking? fish oil? anything else?
