As others are pointing out, cholesterol is a lab indicator not a symptom or disease out right. Cholesterol numbers are a proxy for risk for a negative event, but only a weak proxy. If you're otherwise healthy and don't have a family history of cardiac events then your cholesterol numbers probably don't matter. Trying to control those numbers in the absence of other risk factors presents other risks. Cholesterol medicines aren't without side effects, so you're best off not taking them if you don't need them.
