TC - 260
HDL-65
LDL- 170
And the second one was( After 12 hours of fasting at 11 30 am)
TC- 213
HDL-53
LDL-134
Which one should I assume is correct
I did it for the second time because I exercise regularly
Waiting for your reply?

Achilles tendonitis is a prominent sign of familial hypercholesterolemia. Also Vit D could be a cause for the same, so before starting statin kindly check your vit D level.
