That kind of result is not familar to me. You have to be more specific. A plain cholesterol just needs more information to be accurate on what is going on with the whole person. What is the LDL? HDL? What is the ratio if the LDL is >100 and assess for risk factors. You have to look at more than just the Total cholesterol.

Without Cholesterol your body wouldn't work. Too much in the blood can increase the risk of heart disease and disease of the arteries. Main culprits eggs, offal and shell fish.Once inside the body, the liver turns this fat into Cholesterol. The average total accepted is 5.8. So I don't think your husband or you should worry.
