how do they measure cholesterol anyways?

37-year-old male.
Total cholesterol 194.
Triglycerides 51.
HDL 78.
LDL 106.

how can my cholesterol be considered "good" or average as the nurse told me, but my LDL was a little high????

I have really high cholesterol (280) it’s part hereditary and also because I used to eat very unhealthy as a child. I am 18 years old and on Crestor to lower my cholesterol. I am trying to eat more healthy but is there something you can eat to lower cholesterol? I’ve heard of oatmeal but that’s about it.
I am exercising almost everyday for 25-30 minutes so hopefully that helps too!

I’m 29 years old, not overweight, do not drink or smoke, but my doctor said I have a high cholesterol of 245. Is this really high?
She put me on low-cholesterol diet, but cholesterol stayed the same. Could it be hereditery? Both my parents have heart problems. Should my doctor put me on medication to lower it?

Fasting Test – Cholesterol Level 4.6 – Blood Sugar Level 4.9 – Age 65 – Good or Bad ??

my cholesterol is at 270. but they didnt even tell me my good or bad should i be worried is that too high?
is taking statin at 18 bad?

I may have high cholesterol. What is the recommended limit of grams of cholesterol intake on a daily basis?

My total cholesterol is 239, triglyecerides are 274, and LDL is 143. Can this condition make you FEEL like you have hypoglycemia? Why do I get shaky, sick, and feel like I am starving all of a sudden like my sugar is low when my blood sugar test turned out great? Do cholesterol and triglycerides give you the same kind of symptoms or is something else going on?
i am only 23 and i am getting ready to be treated for cholesterol with zocor if my dieting doesn’t bring these levels down within the next 3 months. i was just up late and wondering if this can make you feel like you have low blood sugar. or what are some symptoms that come with it because i can’t find them on the internet??

And also, if it does indeed turn into cholesterol, how much is about 2g saturated fat into cholesterol?
