title: By the way, doctor. I take 20 mg of Lipitor and 10 mg of Zetia. My total cholesterol has declined from 177 to 145, my LDL from 133 to 93, but my "good" HDL cholesterol also went down from 46 to 41. Would you consider my low HDL level a large risk factor? If so, is there a regimen that would increase it?
