This is not necessarily a bad sign, but you should talk to your doctor about getting more advanced cholesterol blood tests. There are different measures of cholesterol, like concentration per particle, number of particles, and size of particles, and regular bloodwork usually only measures one of those (concentration, I believe). You can have a lot of small, empty particles, or fewer large, dense particles, and so forth. This means a regular test may not paint the whole picture, especially if you’re doing something “non-standard” like a keto diet, fasting, or if you’re losing significant body fat.
