Thanks for using healthcaremagic.I understand your concerns.
No.Your total cholesterol and HDL levels are normal.Your LDL level is borderline high but can be considered normal at present if you don't have any other risk factors like high triglyceride levels,smoking,hypertension,obesity,family history of ischemic heart disease etc.However optimal LDL level should be below 100mg/dl.If i was your physician,would advise you to follow with low saturated fat diet,regular exercises,maintaining optimal weight and monitor your lipid profile every 6 months atleast.Hope i have answered your question.If any further questions,wish to answer you.
I find this answer helpful
