Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic
ECG is normal
Only 2 variations are seen in the lab tests – Triglyceride 254 / SGPT 65
TRIGLYCERIDE
The level is not alarming – Normal = less than 150 / Borderline = 150 to 199.
High = 200 to 499 / Very high = 500 or higher.
A full 12 to 14-hour fasting is necessary for proper interpretation next time
Obesity / Diabetes / Thyroid insufficiency / Alcohol / over eating / some drugs like Beta-blockers / Diuretics are a few other causes…. It is generally genetic [inherited /running in family]
Eat fewer calories / Limit natural sugars:
Eat small, frequent meals and do not skip meals
Avoid late-night snacking
Add omega-3 fats in your diet
– fatty fish (like mackerel, salmon, sardines, tuna) twice or more in a week
– soy foods, canola oil, flax seeds and walnuts / limit potatoes, yams, beans, corn and peas
Lose weight if you are overweight
NO alcohol
NO tobacco
Do regular physical activity – at least half an hour a day / 5 days in a week
Consult a Physician
Repeat the tests in 2 to 3 months / if it is still high, then you may need drug …Because only this (not cholesterol( is elevated, your doctor may prescribe a fibrate
SGPT
Mild elevation only … all other liver function tests are normal
Only if it is 3 or more times the upper limit, we do more investigations..
No alcohol / No drugs – including paracetamol, except by doctor’s orders
Repeat the tests after 15 days… If it goes up, your doctor may do Ultrasound for the liver / blood tests for Hepatitis virus etc,
Follow up with your physician
Good luck
God bless you
