With medication my chol is 114, HDL is 58, LDL 45....prior to medication chol 148, HDL 38, LDL 95. I read somewhere when HDL exceeds LDL there is a reversal of CAD.
My doctor goes with the American Heart Association's view: Cholesterol research scientists and doctors are divided on the effectiveness of using the ratio of HDL/LDL to predict the chances of developing heart disease.
Within two months of starting, frequent aerobic exercise can increase HDL cholesterol by about 5 percent in otherwise healthy sedentary adults. Your best bet for increasing HDL cholesterol is to exercise briskly for 30 minutes, five times a week, so that you get more than 120 minutes of brisk aerobic exercise a week. Aerobic exercise is the kind that increases your heart rate and maximizes the amount of oxygen in your blood.

On top of that there are types of Cholesterol. LDL which is considered the bad type, and HDL which is considered a good type to have as it gets rid of the LDL.
I wouldn't consider a total cholesterol level of 231 to be intermediate, I'd think that would in the high range or very close to it.
Your diet only accounts for 10% of your serum cholesterol levels so a 10% reduction would be the bets you could hope for by eliminating all cholesterol.

SGOT and SGPT are sensitive indicators of liver damage or injury from different types of diseases.

We found that HBV infection of primary hepatocyte cultures is dependent on the presence of cholesterol in the viral envelope. Extraction of cholesterol from HBV purified from plasma of HBV-infected patients with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MbetaCD) leads to a strongly reduced level of infection. The cholesterol-depleted virions showed higher buoyant density (1.23 versus 1.
All the symptoms you mention can be symptoms of asthma (except the high blood presure and high cholesterol). Many people don't know that.
I suggest you see an allergist. They would be better able to treat the allergy trigger of you asthma. They are also well trained to treat asthma since an asthmatic usually has allergies.

It is useful in diagnosing liver function more so than SGOT levels. Decreased SGPT in combination with increased cholesterol levels is seen in cases of a congested liver. We also see increased levels in mononucleosis, alcoholism, liver damage, kidney infection, chemical pollutants or myocardial infarction.
