I know they say it is good to have low cholesterol, but is there a such thing as it being too low? On the front page of my blood work results, it said three of the numbers associated with my cholesterol were low and below the "goal" range. My total is 102.4 with a goal of 133-200, LDL is 44 for a goal of 65-130, HDL is 48 for a goal of >50. Does anyone have any advice on how to get these numbers in the goal range?
Another question about the blood test is my sodium level is low as well. I am at 136 for a reference range of 138-146. I assume they highlight these things to bring attention to them, but I have no idea what any of it means. My doctor's office has not really been helpful in answering questions. I have tried looking some of this up online, but I only find answers dealing with the extremes (ie: hyponatremia for sodium). Thank you!
