Woe is me!!! __________________ Hi Zazzy, Did you actually mean 228 and he wants you under 200? that is considered a normal range....or maybe you meant a portion of the cholesterol, like LDL? I have had a total cholesterol of 129 but that is considered really low, and usually it is about 160 (I don't eat red meat). I have actually read that there are some problems with extremely low cholesterol....but a big portion of this is genetics. C. Quote
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 No , the numbers are correct. Because of my heart problems, he said it is critical to keep it 100. They treat it agressively when you have had open-heart surgery.
