Cholesterol test results

StanMcCullars

I spent May 6-7 of this year in the hospital with chest pain. They ran a battery of tests on me and determined that my heart was healthy. Apparently I had a bad reaction to some other meds (which I no longer take).

As of today I have lost 16 pounds since "the incident" occurred. As happy as I am about that I am absolutely thrilled with what has happened to my cholesterol numbers.

I had some blood work done yesterday and received the results today. Following are the changes from May 7th to August 3rd:

Total cholesterol: 191 (down 35.7% from 297)
Triglycerides: 104 (down 75.1% from 418)
HDL Cholesterol: 41 (up 29.3% from 29)
