Why is your HDL higher than your LDL?

My Total Cholesterol and LDL levels are low, but HDL is low also. Should I be worried?

  • My Total Cholesterol = 137 Triglycerides = 132 LDL = 78 HDL = 33 Cholesterol/HDL ratio = 4.15 HDL/LDL ratio = 0.423 My doctor says that my LDL and total cholesterol numbers are great but is concerned about HDL levels being below 40. Should I be concerned about the low HDL? I didn't exercise for almost 2 weeks before the test because I broke my foot. I am vegan, and I don't eat fish either. Thanks!

  • Answer:

    Probably not as long as the bad (LDL) is low. My numbers are always good (not quite as good as yours though) but I can never get my HDL above 35. My doctor is not concerned.
