Are you male or female?
Age?
Weight status?
Do you smoke?
Do you have any other risk factors? (family history, diabetes, etc.)

With those unknowns and what you have provided, I would say to stick with dietary changes before going on any medications.

First off, it appears that you are on the wrong type of diet. Low fat diets tend to result in lower HDL levels and higher triglyceride levels. You have elevated triglycerides which are almost universally the result of consuming too many carbohydrates rather than too much fat or cholesterol. A low carbohydrate diet that focuses on whole natural foods would probably benefit your condition. A low carb diet also generally results in the same effect that those diuretics have so you should be able to normalize your bloodpressure without those meds. Avoid foods containing hydrogenated vegetable oils (read those labels). The trans-fats in those hydrogenated oils have been implicated in raising LDL and lowering HDL levels. Additional exercise and more natural fats like those found in meat, fish, eggs, avacado, olive oil, etc. would also be good to help get that HDL up some more.
