740? That's high, but you have to realize that the way cholesterol is calculated is a combination of both HDL and LDL. Do you know the ratios?
BTW, I'd agree with staying off statins. Get yourself some high quality fish oil and take 10000 per day before getting re-checked.
BTW, was this fasted, or a post-prandial reading? How long before getting checked did you have your last meal?
