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.
