Depending on who was running the test it could be wacky too - I go tinto great shape and lost 20 lbs on the south beach diet...had my chol tested and the brain trust in the USAF Reserves on drill weekend said it was 400. IMPOSSIBLE.
My Flight Doc laughed.
I had a friend who flies with us have the same type of thing happen - he had his Dr run his - it was around 178, then the Reserves did it - 250+. He made them redo it - 180.
