What Can Cause Redness In Eye?

My triglyceride level is 172. My doctor told me it is high and that I have to modify my level because if it gets any higher it can be dangerous. I am 22 years old, 5 2 and 112 lbs. I have not exercised regularly in a long time, maybe 4 or 5 months since I ve done so.

Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having increased triglyceride level.
This needs to be controlled as it is associated as a risk factor for various cardiovascular diseases.
Hence it needs to be treated and controlled by avoiding intake of fatty foods and regular exercises.
However this is not associated with redness of eyes. Redness of eyes needs evaluation and treatment in consultation with your eye doctor.

Thank you
