I got mine checked not too long ago, hottoddy. I found out that I high cholesterol and high blood pressure. The doctor prescribed 10 mg of Crestor rosuvastatin calcium to be taken daily for six weeks. After that, I get tested again.
The doctor didn't tell me what to cut back eating to lower the cholesterol but he did tell me to get more excercise for my blood pressure. I have been walking six blocks once in the mornings and again in the evenings. I cut back on sweets and carbs a few weeks ago to lose some weight. So now I have to watch the cholesterol in the foods I eat.
I did some searching on google for some lowering cholesterol tips and you can find them too. The biggest tip is to be sure to read the labels at the store. Be sure to eat fish at least two times a week. Also, KobyBoy's post about staying away from red meat, egg yokes and anything deep fried is right on target.
I also find out last week that I get to wear bifocals at the age of 39
