High
💬 Adjectives like [高] can be the whole description by themselves in Chinese: [血糖高], [价格高]. You do not need [是] before them.
See breakdown →有点高
yǒu diǎn gāo
A bit high
💬 [有点] often softens a problem statement: [有点高] sounds less blunt than just [高]. You can reuse it with many adjectives, like [有点低] or [有点不舒服].

有点担心
yǒu diǎn dān xīn
A little worried
💬 [有点] before a feeling word often means [a little] with a worried or negative flavor: [有点担心], [有点害怕], [有点紧张]. It is very common for softening how strong the feeling sounds.
See breakdown →我有点担心。
wǒ yǒu diǎn dān xīn
