my cholesterol is 234, Triglycerides 93, HDL 67 LDL 148 what does that mean?

Answer

Hi Rae,

Here are the recommendations of the American Heart Association:

Total cholesterol less than 200
HDL cholesterol at least > 40, ideally > 60
LDL cholesterol at least less than 130, ideally less than 100
Triglycerides less than 150

You’d benefit from lowering your LDL level. Here’s an article you may want to review - http://www.healthcentral.com/cholesterol/c/42538/70316/4-cholesterol.
