[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Mine shot up at menopause. It's now 229 and I'm fit and exercise plenty. My cardiologist said that more important than the overall number is the ratio between good and bad. My ratio is fine. Also important is that my calcium score is zero. So no statins for me yet.[/quote] Menopause does a number on not just cholesterol but glucose/A1C. I'm 56, and my chol is 240, but the triglycerides aren't too bad, and the HDL/LDL is pretty good. I had a calcium score done, and it was zero. Cardiologist said I don't need statins... yet. 347 is high. What did your doctor say? You should see a cardiologist.[/quote]
