Is Cholesterol Level Of 193 A Cause For Concern?

Hi...I ve been on Estra-Noreth for almost 15 yrs. I exercise 3-4 times a week, drink lots of water, work full-time and do lots of volunteering work. I m always on the go. My cholesterol is down to 193 and I weigh 135.5. I have weaned myself down the pill and would like to get off of it for awhile. Is it possible that at my age of 62, I can get cardiovascular disease without continuing the pills?
