I don't have the printed report. The doctor just read the results from the screen (PPUM doctor). He said my LDL was rather high. The rest looked okay.

LDL high is only one reading. Check post #44 for Dr Ekberg's explanation on how cholesterol affects your body.Weight 76kg height 172cm.
Yes, I know it's 40 minutes long, but if you're spending hundreds of ringgit, maybe thousands, on bloodwork and consultation, and not even get a straight answer, why not spend 40 minutes to get knowledge on what you're spending money on?

I think the medical guidelines have changed more recently for cholesterol lowering medication and instead of narrowly looking at cholesterol or ldl levels, doctors are supposed to assess for overall risk of heart disease before those prescribing drugs. So the sciene has already pushed changes in prescribing guidelines although I don't know if Malaysian doctors are up to date.
Has the guidelines changed to reflect how cholesterol is not the cause of heart diseases?
