title: Ask the doctor. My cholesterol profile is pretty good, except that my HDL level is only 32 mg/dL, and I know the normal range is 40 or more. My LDL cholesterol is 110 mg/dL and my triglycerides are in the normal range. I don't have a history of heart disease and I've never had any symptoms (or diagnosis) of heart disease. Should I be taking a drug to raise my HDL?
