What was the reason for cholesterol check?

do you have all the lipid numbers?

your body produces 80 % of cholesterol on demand and 20 % from what goes into the mouth.

you can control you cholesterol and other blood numbers by regular exercise and food and drinks intake control.

Are you in USA?

I have recently reduced my very high cholesterol levels ( which I have had for 30 years) by over 50% by the following . I have no idea which of them have done the job

Reduced alcohol , coffee and red meat intake Eliminated any food made with white wheat flour. Eliminated almost all commercially made food items. Increased consumption of fish, vegetables , fruit. Increased consumption of oats and barley. Increased consumption of soluble fibre. Have concentrated on eating low GI foods as much as possible

Have taken 3mg of Crestor statin and 10mg baby aspirin each day. I have never drank sodas or fruit juices and have done a lot of exercise in the form of long slow distance running.

What is your LDL number, your HDL number and your Triglycerides number. If 220 is your Total then that does not appear to be that high
