Well, as you know these numbers are relating to your lipids/cholesterol breakdown:
4.9 LDL(bad cholesterol) is high, 2.9 HDL(good cholesterol) is good, LDL/HDL ratio of 1.7 is good and 2.9 triglycerides is high.  Is your TSH 3.2 or 0.6?  I was confused about these numbers.  If it is 3.2, high and if it is 0.6 good.  The are different guidelines about these numbers too; depends on whether you live in USA, Europe or Canada, etc.  I used USA guidelines.
