Is 119 cholesterol level too low?
I’m on Mevacor and it has brought my cholesterol down to 119. Is there a problem when the cholesterol level is this low?

If you mean total cholesterol the normal limits are between 100-199 Mg’s.
If you mean HDL (healthy or good cholesterol) any number above 59 Mg’s is considered normal.
If you mean LDL (Bad cholesterol) normal limits are 0-99 Mg’s.
You seem fine but any questions related to this in the future should be directed to your health care professional
Absolutely.
I believe anything under 200 is dangerously low. You body needs cholesterol for many many reasons. Don’t believe the cholesterol myth.
Mine is 329 and I am pleased with it.
