General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
All your values are well within the normal range. Nothing to worry. The drop in cholesterol levels are OK. And you are on a dose of simvastatin that is usually prescribed after Myocardial infarction. Any cardiologist would have put you on the same dose. Nothing to worry.
