I’d have to look, but I dont think they are bad.

THIS

That is the key. My “bad” numbers are high, but my “good” are so high that it counters the “bad” very well. Not taking any drugs and my overall “risk” numbers are low.

You get a (10hr fast required) Lipid Panel done, at your local hospital’s lab.

That isn't the right question. You need to do a MNR Lipo profile. This tells you if you have the small, dangerous cholesterol, or the large puffy harmless ones. Ask your doctor. If s/he doesn't know, find a different doctor
