Do not stop taking medicines because as you stop the ldl will start rising again. Take balanced diet with ample green leafy vegetables. Exercise regularly (at least 150 mins per week). This may raise your hdl. Many studies have shown association of moderate alcohol and low incidence of heart disease. However moderation is very important. Death rate rises rapidly with increasing number of drinks per day i.e more than 1 or 2 drinks per day.
