Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Your LDL of 108 sits in the near-optimal range, and your other numbers, including an HDL of 53 and triglycerides of 86, look healthy. Whether a statin is worth starting isn't decided by one LDL number alone, it depends on your broader heart-risk profile, including family history, age and any other risk factors.
Next Steps
Share this full trend, along with your other health details, with your physician so they can work out your actual cardiovascular risk and decide if medication adds benefit over your current lifestyle, which already looks strong given your activity level. Please consult your physician before deciding either way.
Health Tips
Don't start or stop any lipid medicine on your own; the right call depends on your complete risk picture, not this report alone.
