I am a 55 yr old female, 5 5 , weighing 140 lbs. I walk apprx 4 miles daily (16 min mile) for exercise. I recently had blood work done and found my overall cholesterol numbers to be 255, with LDL
Hello, I passed carefully through your question and would explain that although your total cholesterol and LDL values are a little high, this does not mean that you have dyslipidemia. The rations Total Cholesterol/HDL and LDL/HDL are within the normal range, which means that there is no need to panic or take any treatment.  I would just recommend reduce fat and sugar intake and take a lot of fibers. Nothing serious is going on! So, just relax and don't worry about it! Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
