    First off, you're results are good, based upon what I was able to Google and read in 2 minutes.

    The reason your doctor wants to see you is probably to explain the results.

    If you doctor wants to see you after fasting blood work, then he probably has a diagnosis for you. We can't make that determination, so will leave that to your doctor. Total cholesterol is good if it is 5.2mmol/L or under, yours is 4.4.
