Answer 2

Have a checkup with a doctor.  You have higher risk of disease due to low HDL and high LDL

Answer 3

Your Total Blood (or Serum) Cholesterol Level

Less than 200 mg/dL: Desirable

With HDL (good) cholesterol, higher levels are better. Low HDL cholesterol (less than 40 mg/dL for men, less than 50 mg/dL for women) puts you at higher risk for heart disease. In the average man, HDL cholesterol levels range from 40 to 50 mg/dL. In the average woman, they range from 50 to 60 mg/dL. An HDL cholesterol of 60 mg/dL or higher gives some protection against heart disease.

Smoking, being overweight and being sedentary can all result in lower HDL cholesterol. To raise your HDL level, avoid tobacco smoke, maintain a healthy weight and get at least 30–60 minutes of physical activity more days than not

LDL

Less than 100 mg/dL

Optimal



100 to 129 mg/dL

Near Optimal/ Above Optimal

Triglycerides are a type of fat found in your blood. When you eat, your body converts any calories it doesn't need to use .

High triglycerides may contribute to hardening of the arteries or thickening of the artery walls (atherosclerosis) — which increases the risk of stroke, heart attack and heart disease.

High triglycerides are often a sign of other conditions that increase the risk of heart disease and stroke as well, including obesity and the metabolic syndrome — a cluster of conditions that includes too much fat around the waist, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, high blood sugar and abnormal cholesterol levels.

Sometimes high triglycerides are a sign of poorly controlled type 2 diabetes, low levels of thyroid hormones (hypothyroidism), liver or kidney disease, or rare genetic conditions that affect how your body converts fat to energy. High triglycerides could also be a side effect of taking medications such as beta blockers, birth control pills, diuretics, steroids or the breast cancer drug tamoxifen.



Your triglyceride level will fall into one of these categories:

Normal: less than 150 mg/dL

Borderline-High: 150–199 mg/dL

High: 200–499 mg/dL

Very High: 500 mg/dL

Your total cholesterol is fine.  HDL is slightly low at 35.  LDL at 110 is optimal. However, your triglycerides is unusually high at 253. Making at high risk for HA( Myocadial Infarction)  Stroke ( CVA)  and CAD  (coronary artery disease) and diabetes.

And being an alcoholic, it doesn't make it any better.  Alcohol can attack your liver causing fatty liver or steatorrhea and cirrhosis.    ,
