My LDL level has always been on the high side ~130. It has risen in the last year to 190. My HDL level , also usually high, has risen from 86 to 104. (My triglycerides are 53.) I'm a bit taken aback at the high LDL number. Should I be concerned, despite the other good numbers, and thinking about statins?
