Those are not just good, they are very good. LDL could be lowered a bit more.

HDL is pretty high, but I don't know much about that, however, lots written on it - this from a Cleveland Clinic link: (https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/24395-hdl-cholesterol )

"What does it mean if I have high HDL?
An elevated, or abnormally high, HDL level is anything above 80 mg/dL.
One thing that can make your HDL cholesterol high is a genetic mutation. Some mutations to your genes can cause your body to produce too much HDL cholesterol or have trouble getting rid of it. For example, a mutation to the CETP gene can cause your HDL to be higher than 150 mg/dL.
Other causes of abnormally high HDL can include:
Hyperthyroidism.
Primary biliary cholangitis.
Alcohol use disorder.
Certain medications.
Your healthcare provider will investigate the cause of your elevated HDL and tell you if you need treatment."

My GP had told me a high HDL is good and it helps with any bad LDL ?
