Did you fast for your cholesterol tests?
I bet you will be shocked at this but fasting for me increases my cholesterol.
Every single time I am both
1. dieting and
2. fasting
I will end up with higher than normal cholesterol results. I found a study that showed that "dehydration" causes cholesterol levels to increase.
Next test, a week before be sure to drink water, add more sodium and some (not a ton) sugar (sugar actually holds on to water in your body better than sodium) and do not fast.
I bet it will go down.
Check out this website. Some millennials are experimenting with ways of eating that reliability reduce cholesterol tests.

Oh and tell your doctor to stuff his statins. It is YOUR BODY, you will do what you want to and take his recommendations under advisement. Jerk.
