CHOL 321 (yikes)
HDLD 121
TRIG 32
LDL-CALC 194 and no, these numbers are not typos or mixed up in any way.
I am a 56-year old woman who feels great in every way. This freaky number came up from a test for a routine check-up. Because of the super-human HDL and TRIG levels, my doctor is NOT suggesting meds at this point, but is not sure what to add to my already decent regime of a healthy diet, lots of exercise and supplements that have already included fish oil and policosonal after seeing LDL slightly elevated. From what I have read, these numbers indicate Pattern A LDL - i.e. fluffy, benign particles, but this is a really high number. Has anyone out there had similar experience and/or success with driving down the LDL naturally. Thanks.
Re: lowering LDL. Some of us here use Red Yeast Rice and a ubiquinol CoQ10. The best RYR product, in terms of monoaclins and free of citrinin, is from Nature's Plus.

HDL and Triglyceride reading is swapped.
and that would make tzhe total choletorol about 230
Im not an expert, but for certain, your LDL needs to be lower than that at 56. Do you have family history of early heart disease (<65 in a woman, <55 in a man), have high blood pressure, do you smoke? I suggest going through the framingham 10yr risk calculator to see what your LDL target is, but it is likely <130, although depends on your answers to the above questions.
Thanks, I have never smoked, don't have high blood pressure or early heart disease in family. I know logic dictates that my LDL should be lower, but I am seeking input regarding the unusual ratio. Anyone have experience with that or suggested references? I've seen some information about my profile indicating "benign, fluffy," e.g. non-artery clogging tryglicerides being indicated, but no leads to more extensive substantiation.
