Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have hypertrigylceridemia.
You should take treatment of that. Take low fat diet with high amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids and high fiber diet.
You can also take drugs like atorvastatin or pravastatin to control your lipid levels. But this is a prescription based medicine so consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
