Thanks for contacting HCM

I see from your question that you are requesting help with interrupting the cholesterol level from your doctor. The elevated Cholesterol level is just above the normal range and may be within statistical error. You also have a low LDL which is more in line with good control of you cholesterol levels. LDL is the most telling when determining risk of atherosclerosis from high cholesterol. If you were my patient I would reassure you that the numbers are good and that any further action on your part is not needed.

Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with your questions.
