Your goal will be to raise your HDL, and lower your LDL, avoid saturated fats, adjust your diet, and you'll probably end up with a Statin such as Atorvastatin (Lipitor, etc), for several months to see what effect it has.

Regarding blood pressure and medication:

It depends on your history, your medication, your actual blood pressure, any history of complications, etc. Remember that the FAA is always concerned more with the underlying condition than the medication itself, or put another way; the condition for which the medicine is prescribed or taken is the overarching concern; effects of the medicine are important, but secondary concerns. The chief issue with the medicine isn't the medicine itself, but the reason you're taking the medication, followed closlely by the effects of the drug.
