You have to assess your Cholesterol by comparing the ratio of HDL (high density lipids) to LDL (low density lipids). HDL is good LDL is bad, but the ratio is the most important. The correct range depends on your sex and age speak to a good doctor for advice on your range - DO NOT JUST TAKE THE OVERALL FIGURE.
Try to raise your HDL (hard) and lower your LDL (easier) by good diet, moderate regular exercise and reduce alcohol intake. This will improve your cardiovascular system anyway and reduce blood pressure which will in turn reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
Good luck, avoid medication unless things are desperate.
