So frightened

I got checked as high cholesterol and heart disease is hereditary in my family from the 30s

I'm so frightened at this high number and worried I'm going to have a heart attack in next year.

Please any advice or reassurance from others who have it this high?

Thats not right. You cannot predict you will have a HA in the next year, even if your above 50

I'm just frightened because what if I can't get it lower.

So go to the doctor and get medication for lowering it. 

Although, diet, exercise and stress lowering techniques should be good too.

Hi.Dont get so stressed,that wont help anything.I'm 65 this year and have had a cholestrol reading of between 6 and 7 all my life,i have however managed to get it down on my last reading to 5 due to eating porridge { yuk ] every morning.I have always been very fit being an ex body builder and training 5 - 6 days a week,this i dont think has helped as i was taking in 5 - 6 thousand cal's a day.I certainly believe that stress can play a big part in high cholestrol so try and relax a bit,easy said i know but 5.8 is really not that high.
