High Colesterol And Methotrexate

I have been on 17.5 mg of methotrexate once a week for 20 years. After 2 rca stents 4 years ago, blood work showed VERY high colesterol...422...I have been on 80mg Zocor and have 6 month blood work for both methotrexate and colesterol. I did not seem to have a colesterol problem until 4 years (that I know of) and was curious if Methotrexate had any effect as far as raising colesterol. There is no family history of high colesterol. I am 5'2, weigh 98 lbs and 61 years old..
