I have high cholesterol-260. Should I be on a statin? What do the numbers below mean to me?


Posted by me

I have high cholesterol-260, LDL-158, HDL-86.  But my triglycerides are only 53.  I am 46 year old, 4'11", weigh about 145lbs.  I work out 5 days a week, 2 hours per day.  High cholesterol runs in my family.  I don't always eat healthy.  Why/How can I have high cholesterol but low tri's?
