I have been told I have high triglycerides, like 218, I am 36 and have never had any health problems in reguards to blood pressure, cholesterol and such. I have always been on the heavier side, but not excessive. My abdomen is one not at all oversized. My father has diabetes and most of his family and he has high cholesterol and so does my mother--who is not a diabetetic but has a family history of cancer and heart problems. My question is: Can I have the following symptoms from this level of triglycerides: migraine headache dizziness unable to focus sight for short periods of time pin point chest pain, exactly where my heart is pain running down my inner leg and all the way down to ankle, like as if in a vein numbness in my left arm my left eye sort of not as open as my right sudden diahrrea insomnia stiff jaws This doesn't happen all at once, but has been happening often for the past two months.
