Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

Total cholesterol value of 248 is moderately high & may not require statins.
You should increase fibers in diet by food such as whole wheat, oats, raw fruits, etc & decrease intake of hydrogentaed fats such as milk fat, hydrogented vegetable oil, etc.
Fish doesn't contain any harmful fats so can be taken while suffering from high cholesterol. Also it contain omega 3 fatty acids that are good for heart.


Hoping your query is solved
Get well soon.
