Hey all,

My office had a health fair the other day and had a guy running cholesterol screenings. I got a test, and it seems that my lipid profile is a bit off. I had a total cholesterol of like 174, but my HDL was only 23 (I'm trying to do this from memory, so the numbers might be a little off). In any event, it freaked me out a bit. I've been slacking on getting blood work done... should I be alarmed? A bit of history: I haven't done AAS, so I'm not really worried about potential liver damage from that. I upped my EFA/CLA to compensate - should that be enough or do I need to schedule a Dr. appointment for early next week?

By the way, I'm 28, 6'2" and about 200 (I just lost like 30 pounds that I gained after my grandfather died a couple years ago and I'm getting back into training again).

Thanks.
