In general: A total cholesterol level of less than 200 mg/dL (5.17 mmol/L) is normal. A total cholesterol level of 200 to 239 mg/dL (5.17 to 6.18 mmol/L) is borderline high. A total cholesterol level of 240 mg/dL (6.21 mmol/L) or greater is high.
If your total cholesterol level is 200 to 239, you have a borderline level. The word 'borderline' is used because levels of 200 to 239 are close to being high. A total cholesterol of 240 or above is a high level.
If you have slightly high cholesterol then it means that plaque is building up slowly in the arteries.
Unfortunetely, high cholesterol has no symptoms. It can be only detected with the help of blood tests. Especially Lipid profile.
