Have you been done a lipid profile (cholesterol testing in combination with other tests including HDL, LDL, and triglycerides) recently?
What are the readings you got?
Are you experiencing hypoestrogenic hyperlipidemia caused by menopause?

It's not specific for you but I want to share this with you that
Blood can be tested for the cholesterol level. The total cholesterol in the blood includes both HDL and LDL cholesterol. A total cholesterol level of less than 250 mg% is considered normal. High HDL levels (more than 60 mg%) reduce the risk for heart disease and low levels (less than 35 mg%) increase the risk.
