If your total cholesterol level is 200 to 239, you have a borderline level. The word 'borderline' is used because levels of 200 to 239 are close to being high. A total cholesterol of 240 or above is a high level.

Do eggs really cause high cholesterol?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have done a lipid profile test and the results are total cholesterol 200, HDL 45, LDL 130, VLDL 25, and triglycerides 125. Are these normal? I recently recovered from COVID, I tested positive on October 6, and now I am okay. Are these reports normal or can recovery from COVID affect the results of the lipid profile?
