I don't know Eric. Hypo can be used just as much as Hyper. They're opposite prefixes. If you can have more than normal of something, you can also have less than normal of something. You could have hypo-erythristic or, less red than normal.
For instance, I have HYPOglycemia - so, low blood sugar. That's why I'm an @$$ so often  If there's one phrase I've had directed at me more often in my life than any other, it's "GO EAT SOMETHING!!!!"
HYPERglycemia is diabetes mellitus - aka, high blood sugar.
Just my thoughts. But like always, I find your contributions to be a valuable part of this, and other forums! btw, you should post a Mata pic here
