Something similar in my results. The nurse said individually they were OK but added together they were over the threshold. I was put on statins for 3 months & waiting to be retested. I don't eat red meat, pastries, sausages etc, never smoked, exercise. Sorry not much help to you.

Peri / menopause leads to an increase in cholesterol levels (advice from lipid clinic). I'm on a trial of statins as my total cholesterol has been increasing and is now 7.5
