No connection, as far as my personnal experience is concerned. My cholestrol was at 350, but my BP was 120/80 in 1996.

Yes its possible. My cholesterol is a little high (215 total) and my blood pressure is always fine. But, my good cholesterol is 50.

Yes there is a direct connection. High blood cholesterol causes the formation of fat plagues along the walls of your blood vessels thus reducing the blood passage way, especially in your extremeties (toes and fingers). Since the amount of blood you have in your system is not reduced, but the carrying capacity is reduced by the formation fat plagues, the blood pressure will then elevate.
