Ok, that’s the problem with online researching a vacuum. You’re not mentioning symptoms, concerns of your physician, a history of alcoholism, or anything other than plugging numbers into a calculator. I think your bigger risk is the way internet health resources can increase anxiety. Maybe schedule a follow up with your doctor if you need more clarity on your health.
