I Am A 68 Y/o Female And I Recently Had

I am a 68 y/o female and I recently had blood tests done.I am concerned as my CK is 183 and my cardiologist increased my lipitor from 10 to 20 mg. My total cholesterol is 223 my HDL 98 and my LDL116 my Trig. 44. I have Sjorgens syndrome and aching in my legs. I do have stenoses in my lower back. As an RN on 43 years I did not think I should have increased my Lipitor. He also changed my BP med. from Metroprolol to Amlodipine 5mg . Is this a concern? Thank you very much
