Detailed Answer:
Hello again!
There is no need to worry as LDL levels are borderline and you have a very high HDL level, which is a protecting factor.
Besides, LDL levels are not a true indicator of your cardio-vascular risk. Total cholesterol/LDL ratio is a more confident indicator and in your case (A ratio), it is perfect.
So, there is nothing to worry about!
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Wishing all the best,
