Your total cholesterol is 250 how is it?

That is too high. I believe the optimal Cholesteral is 180 but you also have to watch your LDL and HDL levels too. I would highly recommend changing your diet and continue seeing your doctor to reduce these levels. I helped my husband lower his Cholesteral levels. Some of the Cholesteral levels are inherited and some from how you eat. My family history has high Cholesteral, yet 3 of us kids have very low levels, so I believe what you eat can have an impact.
