High Cholesterol - have/did you?

As I hit the big 40 earlier in the year, I was encouraged to go for the NHS MoT which i did. This showed up that my cholesterol was high and I should book an app with the doc. Anyhow, appointment done etc and she said that my level was 7.7 which is high but not massively high (they give tablets for 10 - 20) with my risk of heart attack at 3.4% in the next 10 years.

I’m sure it’s a common theme as we all get older and have to look at our lifestyle, what we eat and drink etc.

Do/did you have high cholesterol and how do you control it?
