Welcome to the merry go round.
I've had exactly the same experience.
Taking the prescribed chlorestoral medication lowered my chloriestora but my triglycerides went off the chart. My docter added medication to lower the tris and the next test showed they were both up and my blood pressure was high and he wanted to start me on high blood pressure pills.

I've just decided to quit playing with them and feel better, save my liver and enjoy life.
