Need to raise HDL very quickly.

I am 35, in top physical shape, and have just found out my HDL is only 14 (yes, fourteen). Heart disease is rampant in my family. I am an amateur bodybuilder, and know my diet and lifestyle are not to blame. My doctor wants to prescribe drugs to lower, but my liver might suffer. How can I raise my HDL before I collapse from a massive MI?
