Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that anxiety is not related to high levels of triglycerides.

High levels of triglycerides are usually related to your diet and low physical activity. Alcohol intake can lead to increased triglyceride levels.

Your triglyceride levels have decreased because of Tonact TG therapy. But if you stop it, they will probably raise again.

I recommend making some diet modifications (mediterranian diet, fish, olive oil, nuts and avoid fat and sugar) and a lot of physical activity.

After these lifestyle modifications you can discuss with your doctor on the possibility of reducing the dose of Tonact TG.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Greetings!

Dr. Iliri
