You indicate your total (TC) as 240, but what is probably more important information is your HDL, LDL, and triglyceride numbers. The TC values alone do not appear to be as important as was once thought.
When you had your blood tested, it is highly unlikely that these other values were not also tested for. If you don't have these numebrs, ask your doctor to give them to you or get them for you.
If you post these other numbers, you will hear from regulars here with suggestions and opinions on how they stack up as risk factors and what you might be able to do to modify them towards a more healthy balance.
