It's only bad if you take them...

Unfortunately you don't list the previous test,
nor do you list what plan youre on nor for how
long.

Could be anywhere from great through terrible.
Could be expected because you're to early in your
plan to test.

What are your griglycerides supposed to be?

Those are very healthy numbers. DO NOT take the
statin drug. Read the material refered to in another
post. These drugs are not effective at reducing disease
and have horrible side effects (and cost money).

Your HDL and triglycerides are very good, look at one of the bookstore sites
for a book called (IIRC) '50 ways to lower your cholesterol' for help with
lowering your LDL.

you need to sit down and have a long discussion with your doctor.
if you question the use of statins, talk to him/her about it.
how long have you been low carbing?

<<Just got the results back today.
  Lipid Panel griglycerides     97
 Cholesterol Total             282
HDL cholesterol         57
LDL chllesterol         206
Chol/HDLC Ratio         4.9
  Everything else fell within the lines.
  Glucose               76
  The doc gave me a 30 day supply of Lipitor 10mg.
  So how bad is it?

there is a percentage of people who cannot safely lo carb. my total
cholesterol was 199. after low carbing 1 year it was 235 and my other
numbers weren't good either. the doc wanted to medicate me. instead, i
went on low fat/south beach for 6 months & my cholesterol fell to 180.
if you take the statins only do it for 1 month & get retested. if your
levels have dropped you can go off the drug & try south beach & get
retested.

i'm not knocking low carb. it's just that everyone's body is different.
you must do what is best for you. your health is at stake here.
good luck to you
