If you were advised to see a physician ASAP, then it sounds like good advice to do so.
cholesterol levels
Hi everyone!
I had bloodwork done at work for a health program and my results came back saying that I need to see a physician asap due to extremely low LDL cholesterol of 29. (reference range is 60-129) I am a nurse and I was not aware that your "bad cholesterol" (LDL) could be "too low", only HDL. Can anyone shed some light on this? I asked a nurse practitioner who I work with and she said maybe I'm not getting enough protein. I looked through some literature and the affects of low LDL are simply not well researched. Any opinions would be appreciated!

I agree, ignore the nurse that thinks you have a ham deficiency and see a doctor.
It might be nothing, but then again it might be the first hint to an undiagnosed cancer.

Maybe talk to a doc or nutritionist?
My guess is they want to rule out any liver problems. Also, people with histories of eating disorders sometimes have very low total cholesterol and/or LDLs. (Also a nurse, welcomeHi everyone!

)Edit: What is your total cholesterol?
I'd go to the Doctor to rule out any health problems.
Not "Normal"
I think that what these people are trying to tell you is that you're not "normal;" you're not like them! My doctor told me my phosphate levels were low and I simply told her I don't drink coca cola, eat meat, or any of the other dietary sources of phosphate, but that I would start eating nuts and beans. She was satisfied.Hi everyone!
