Hi Doctor, I'm 15 year old male. I have done my routine blood tests recently to check all my blood levels, in which cholesterol came as well the level was 143 of total cholesterol and LDL was 72 and HDL 51 and VLDL was 17. I just wanted to know if are these levels are normal or do they indicate any heart problems or heart blockage? Thank you.

No they do not indicate heart symptoms. But they indicate possibilities of developing heart problems. The levels are not that high. And you may just take good balanced diet and do some moderate exercise..

LDL cholesterol levels should be less than 100 mg/dL. Levels of 100 to 129 mg/dL are acceptable A desirable total cholesterol level for adults without heart disease is less than 200 mg/dL. An HDL cholesterol level of 60 mg/dL.
