Good Evening. Thank You For Being Here. I Have Elevated

Good Evening. Thank you for being here. I have elevated cholesterol and triglycerides.
I'm told that It may be inherited, my mother has same but can take statins, I can't.
I'm on a few medications.
Zetia for the HDL LDL and Triglycerides, I have a horrible reaction to statins, yes I'm one of them.
Zolpedem for a sleep aid, I have a hard time sleeping I don't know why
Fluticasone for allergy, twice a day (spray) I probably can live without it, I was taking over the counter and a specialist said no, take Fluticasone instead.
Nabumetone 750mg for a torn meniscus, that will probably be operated on soon.
My question is "Do I have elevated Chol and Trig's because of the medications I'm taking?"
