Hi Viloigor,
The American Heart Association recommends LDL cholesterol be less than 130 mg/dl and ideally less than 100 mg/dl. Your level of 80 is great. I encourage you to discuss with your physician to determine why Lipitor was prescribed and if you need to continue the treatment or adjust the dosage, etc.
All the best,
Lisa Nelson RD
