Aside from giving medical advice, it's always a good idea to eat lots of veggies, fruits and whole grains- plus get adequate sleep & exercise. Saturated fat and excessive amount of sugar are to be avoided.
I wonder if the high HDL is connected to the low LDL somehow? I've always had the opposite situation: my HDL is high. My totals were up past 288 at one time.
I was on a statin for a couple of years and recently my doc said I could go off of it since my HDL cancels out my higher than normal LDL. I'm going to retest soon, to make sure I'm okay. I was only using half a lowdose pill 3-5 times a week before we decided to just skip it My doc said I could continue with it if I want to; but they always make my HDL lower and that's not good.
If it was me, I'd retest in three months to see how things are going. I have no idea how the stress of past drinking or the effects of stopping may affect your cholesterol readings. Did you ask your doctor about this?
