[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2253618, member: 94045"] Do read the thread [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] posted above. Your total cholesterol of 5.3 is not high. It is fine, but meaningless on its own. What you need is the breakdown - the HDL, LDL and triglycerides. That will tell you much more. The total is just that - a total of the good and the not so good. You may have a lot of the good stuff within that 5.3. Ask your nurse for a print out of the blood test results, or apply to have your test results on-line (if you are in England) [/QUOTE]
