What, if any, are the dangers of cholesterol being too low (115) ??

Cholesterol is vital and found in every living cell. It repairs damaged blood vessels, which is why it is present in people with CHD but it is not the cause. Cholesterol is the building block from which your sex hormones are synthesized. The depression mentioned in one of the answers has more to do with statin drugs blocking critical brain chemicals.

That level seems quite low, but you need to look at the other readings for comparison - HDL; LDL; ratio; etc.
The brain relies on cholesterol to work and people with very low levels can have adverse effects, such as depression.

CHD indeed afflicts those with cholesterol levels of 150 and lower.



Very serious disease is a risk of VERY LOW cholesterol as well as depression, agression etc

No dear, it's fine. Cholesterol should be <150 Desirable, Border line High 150-239 and High 240>.
Enjoy and maintain a good health.
