Hello, I just recently got my cholesterol tested at a wellness fair. My total cholesterol the past 2 years was around 179 and hdl s 83. This year my total cholesterol 124 and hdl s 79. I did cut out a lot of red meat and eggs since last year. Is 124 too low. Should I follow up with my PCP? Is total cholesterol of 124 okay? Thank you for your advice. Glenn
Hello, your cholesterol measurements are very different (about 30%). Have you been taking any cholesterol lowering Chat Doctor?  Please keep in mind that very lower cholesterol levels are related to cancer (but they don't cause cancer themselves) and there's a seemingly strange relation with traffic accidents as well! You haven't mentioned your age and weight. Both play a major role in cholesterol levels. For example if you've lost too much weight then lower cholesterol levels are expected (despite not that low). Anyway, you can't do anything about that, and if you're otherwise healthy then enjoy your atherosclerosis free blood vessels! I hope I've helped! If you do have more questions, please ask and I'll be glad to help more! Kind Regards!
