Brief Answer:
borderline high NMR results,not high overall risk
Detailed Answer:
Dear Mrs XXXX
NMR is a more sensitive test for lipid profile. Your LDL-P is 1385, which is borderline high.
But your overall risk is not high and there is no evidence for prescribing statins in such cases.
So you should not worry, keep following healthy lifestyle, start exercise when you recover and have regular checkups.
I hope I could help you.
Have a good health.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration in quelling my fears. I see a specialist for my hormone issues and gynocological questions. I do not currently have a PCP. Is it necessary to take these blood numbers to anyone else, or am I good to go, at least until next year's blood work? Again, thank you. XXXXXXX Soini
Brief Answer:
