Normal range of Cholesterol level values are different for different individuals dependant on the risk profile like having diabetes etc . Young individuals without risk factors can try life style modification at this level also and repeat after 6 months . Can wait for medicines . Level is high, definitely . A week of fatty food may not have an acute impact on the value .
