I have no idea but your cholesterol level seems very high to me unless you mean 2.8? If its 2.8 it should be fine but 280?
Surely your GP would highlight any problems? I would think - mine would.

My GP was only to willing to give me the stats when I asked.

We use mmol/l here for cholesterol levels and glucose etc. Your results are in different units . Where are you from? Agree best to see your own doctor
