Hi Sipa,
You'd be better able to determine if lowering your total cholesterol is necessary by knowing the breakdown of your cholesterol (i.e. HDL, LDL, and triglycerides). A comprehensive lipid panel is ideal to determine if cholesterol particle sizes are "good" or "bad" and if action needs to be taken.
All the best,
