If you have a low total cholestrol a low hdl a low ldl and triglycerides high at 245 should you be on a low dose of a statin drug liptor or simvastatin to raise the HDL and lower the LDL?

NO. When everything else is low but triglycerides are high that almost certainly means that you are eating too many carbohydrates and sugars than is appropriate for your genetic makeup. Statins will not work to fix this particular problem; your first step should be to cut sugar from your diet as sugar directly raises triglyceride levels.
