Question on cholesterol levels.

I have no idea what my cholesterol levels were before I started the
Atkins diet.  I started out Atkins, then switched to paleo.

On the atkins diet my total cholesterol was 49.  I had to read that
number to my (cardiologist) aunt several times before she would believe
me.  Now that I am on paleo, it has gone up to 115.

"Normal" appears to be anything below 200, so I'm not worried.  Are
there problems associated with low cholesterol?  Is 115 a typical number
for all you paleo people out there?  Haven't had it checked in years...
I've been on paleo for about 4 years now.

Erik
