Thanks for the replies.
I've been trying to call my doctor all morning. He left the info on my answering machine. I just listened to it again and got more details:
Cholesterol: 308 - should be under 200
HDL: 33 - should be higher than 40
Triglycerides: 530 - should be less than 150
There's also a history of heart disease and stroke in my family.
I hope to get through to the doc soon. I want to make sure I'm being properly monitored while I try my diet and exercise program.
I hope I can get this under control without incident.
