Total cholesterol is 211. good cholesterol 85. bad cholesterol 111. what can i do to get my bad cholesterol down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Might do you harm!: With a HDL of 85 i see no benefit to lowering your ldl. Low cholesterol can be as hazardous as high cholesterol. The role of cholesterol in heart disease is overestimated.
