Cholesterol too high !!

Hi, my blood work results revealed 6.7 when its meant to be in the high 5's.
I know this is high, but just how high is it please ?
Ive never had a cholesterol problem in my life and just been diagnosed with IBS at the same time.
Is it common for IBS and high cholesterol to go hand in hand with each other ?
Thankyou for any advice : )

Ok thanks for that. He didnt say much, just gave me pills to lower cholesterol and said come back in a week.
Apparently i have a problem with my lipids and he gave me Lipitor to take.

No, IBS and cholesterol are not normally connected. What did your doctor suggest?
