My Ldl is 134, Hdl is 67, cholesterol Lipid is 236, and non HDL cholesterol is 169. Those were the ones that were high. Everything else was within normal limits. I m 65, 135 lbs and 5 4 . Should I be doing anything differently? Have been eating mostly non-fat, vegetarian, a very occasional red meat for past 5 years.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
No need to big worry. Your cholesterol levels are mostly within normal limit exact your LDL cholesterol. Your LDL cholesterol is slightly high. It can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. You should take low fat diet with high amount of poly unsaturated fatty acids. repeat your lipid profile test after 3 months. If your levels still remain high then you can start drugs like atorvastatin or pravastatin. No any treatment is required right now.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
