That's high. Talk to your doctor about how you can lower it. An optimal level is around 100 mg/dL.

What is a safe score for your cholesterol?
For most people a total cholesterol of 200 and an LDL (low density lipoprotien - "bad cholesterol") of 130 is desirable. We often shoot for an LDL of less than 100 for certain high risk people such as those who have vascular disease and diabetes and we often tolerate LDL's of 160-190 in low risk people.
What is Optimal LDL cholesterol?
100-129 mg/dL; total cholesterol 160-199 mg/dL
What is high risk cholesterol?
LDL cholesterol greater than 160 mg/dL; total cholesterol greater than or at 240 mg/dL
What does cholesterol treatment do?
The primary goal of cholesterol treatment is to lower LDL to under 160 mg/dL in people without heart disease and who are at lower risk of developing it
What does it mean if you have high LDL-P?
LDL-P stands for 'LDL-Particles' (as opposed to LDL-C which is LDL-Cholesterol). It's measured with a blood test commonly called "the particle test", and your LDL-P tells you the number of LDL particles in your blood. Usually LDL-P is measured along with LDL-C to obtain a more complete, detailed measure of cardiovascular risk - some doctors believe that particle levels as well as total cholesterol matter. Treatment strategies differ depending on the relationship between LDL-P and LDL-C, so there's not a 'cut and dried' target number for LDL-P (as there is for LDL-C).
