High HDL and cholesterol

I have always had cholesterol around 160. I just found out my cholesterol is now at 213, LDL 82, Try 148 and my HDL 120. I know the HDL are "good", but I am 30 points over the range. Is there anything I should be concerned about? I am 38, a healthy woman that exercises regularly and eats fresh food.Thank you
