Suggest Treatment For High Triglycerides
I live in Trinidad, W.I. In March 2003 I had two heart attacks. I had two stents implanted.I gave up smoking at that time.
My Tryglycerides has always been quite high around (470). I have been on Crestor, Lipitor (40mg), Aspirin one per day, HBP tablets, Jameson (Niacin), Jameson (Omega 3 Cod liver oil) although whenever I go to the clinic, my BP and sugar are always within acceptable perimiters according to the Doctor.
I decided to try and do something with my diet and cut out all alcoholic beverages. I drink, water, cocont water, and fruit juices.
My weight had been around 200 lbs, it is now about 175- 180 lbs.
I just went in to have blood tests done for Liver, Kidney, Full cholesterol. I could not believe my eyes! My Tryglycerides were
1500! (my total cholesterol was around 270 if I am not mistaken.)
I have been away from the gym for about 6 mos as I was busy with a project I was working on.
I plan on starting back at the gym next week.
I just cannot believe how high these Tryglycerides are
I must say this was a shock!!
I would appreciate hearing back from someone with some recommendation as I am starting to feel I am fighting a losing battle.
