Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your blood lipid profile and other blood lab tests are perfectly normal.

You should know that the total cholesterol value is not a true indicator of your blood lipid profile. Total cholesterol /HDL ratio is a more confident indicator, which in your case is perfectly normal, showing that you are not at any high risk for cardio-vascular disease.

So, there is no reason to panic!

I would just strongly encourage you to continue on your healthy lifestyle.

Wishing all the best,

Dr. Iliri
