Tryglicerides

Recently I recieved a blood test. A friend had it done and recommended that I have one done as well. I talked to an old doctor friend who is about 88yrs old and he called the hospital and set it up. My tiglyceride reading was 1230. Normal is 300. I had not eaten in 24 hrs. I then repeated the test and it read 1185. My old doctor who is now retired did not adress this. Should I be alarmed or have the test read by a physician. The test daid my LDL and HDL would not be read accurate because my triglicerydes were so high. Any advice?
