That happened to me this year too. The doctor put me on meds but he suggested I take omega-3 gel tabs up to 4000 mg a day. I'll let you know how my good cholesterol is doing when I return for blood work in five months. Once he put me on the meds, there was a huge drop in my count of over 100 points. My HDL dropped too that is why he put me on the fish oil tabs.
He gave me a sheet with what is good to eat rather than what is bad and should be eliminated from my diet.
