I don't need those figures, I guarantee they're low. I don't eat food that could possibly lead to high cholesterol. I eat almost solely fruits and vegetables, zero fast food, no sodas/sugary crap like most Americans.

While this is a great lifestyle, you really should see someone annually. It's cheap, and picks up on things that are beyond able to be controlled by a healthy lifestyle. Simply feeling great and making healthy choices doesn't prevent quite a lot of disease processes. It's quite possible that you don't need to be placed on medications, and any good primary care physician would be happy to let you continue on the way you are. But basic monitoring is a pretty fantastic thing. Most parts of your body have enough redundancy to run on as little as ~10% functionality without you noticing a problem. By the time you've run it down that far, it's irrecoverable. Good monitoring under a skilled physician picks up and prevents those problems.
