Opinions of Cholestrol levels

Total cholestrol: 246 (high)
Triglyceride: 78
HCL: 96 (good cholestrol)
LDL: 134 (bad cholestrol) high
RATIO of CHOL/HDL: 2.56 which is ideal

Need an opinion: My total is high, but my ratio is good.
Is this a concern?

I am on Femara and I think this elevated my levels.
I exercise a lot and eat well, so that probably why my HCL is so good as well as my ration.
