Exclamation help...raised cholesterol!

I need major help. After strictly low-carbing (no cheating and also measuring carefully) for close to 2 months, I went and had my blood tests done. My cholesterol which was already high at 6.2 total, jumped in this short time to 8.1 (6.00 LDL) I almost fainted on the carpet at the doctor's office. I have an appointment to see the doctor in 3 weeks, and I just don't know what to do.
I've read EVERY book on earth regarding low carbing and I thought it all made very good sense. I noticed though that none of the books talks about those few people who do not benefit from this way of life...and I am unable to find more information on why this might be.
Note, while low-carbing the last few weeks...I lost absolutely no weight...felt very tired and weak all the time, couldn't sleep, and my ketones were negative to trace at best.
Does anyone know where I can find out more???
Thanks for any help you can offer
