Hi,
Usually when bad cholesterol drops, good cholesterol increases. So you shouldn't worry. You are on the right way, go ahead!!

According to the ACC Guidelines from 2013, it depends on the treatment being used. With some responses the bad and the good go down and with other treatments you will see the bad go down and the good go up. Like I said, it depends on the treatment,and your response to the treatment.
You appear to be heading in the right direction so my encouragement to you!
