HDL and LDL Levels Abruptly Change?

Hello -

I got bloodwork done in January 2021. My HDL was 116 and my LDL was 64. This was fairly consistent with my HDL and LDL levels for the last 10 years, since I started getting bloodwork done (i'm 33).

Fast forward to April 2022; and my HDL was 66 and my LDL was 111. As you can see, the amounts are basically the same except the HDL and LDL amounts were flipped.

When I say that I am an OCD creature of habit, it's an understatement. I literally do the same routine, same exercise, same diet, 350 out of 365 days of the year (especially now after COVID, where i'm working from home and cooking for myself every day and night). I don't drink and haven't changed my diet at all.

Does anyone have a similar experience or have any idea what could have happened?
