Blood test results

I got my blood test results today. It says I have high cholesterol, says normal is 140-199. Mine was 209. HDL is 59, and LDL IS 120. Should I be worried? I'm not a doctor so I don't really know what any of this means.

Thanks :)

I know that cholesterol levels are treatable, so I guess I would talk to your doctor about how to go about treating it :)

Thanks everyone:) im trying to quit smoking. Not succeeding yet. It's hard to say but I enjoy it. Park, yours was only 2 points over. Mine was 10. :(

In the world of cholesterol, our numbers were VERY similar. Truly do not panic. My cardiologist told me that it's not even considered high, it's just borderline and to go ahead and pretend like it never happened. Do you like salmon? A super healthy fat. Or avocado? Also delish. I added in some oatmeal and cut back on cheese and yummy treats from starbucks. When I went back my number had stayed 200, but my good fats had gone up so the doctor was happy. What I need to do it cardio, but having a toddler is exhausting and when I have down time, I just wanna lie down and veg. Plus, although I know it's good for anxiety, cardio makes me panic because of the breathing and heart rate stuff. Something I'm working on.

I wish i had numbers like you folks, my HDL is 39, LDL is 100, but triglycerides are over 200, hi tris are
the worst thing you can have, it is carb related, the medical world is changing its attitude about total
cholesterol the tris are worst, but good news is with moderate exercise you can bring the tris down. Peace
