What Could Be Done For High Triglycerides Level Having A Heart Blockage?
I am suffering from Heart Blockage. I have stopped taking oil. I am vegeterian and do not take milk. But my triglyceride is stll 156 whereas my doctor saysit should be below 100. I do take 1 tablet daily of ROSUVASTATIN 10mg. I am 66years of age and not diabetic.
Sir with each passing year the guidelines are becoming more stringent which lesser triglycerides and ldl preferred. However your triglycerides level are just borderline high and may be managed by changing food habits, changing type of oil, prefer olive oil, next step supplement eg omega 3 fatty acid capsule 1-2 gm a day, lastly if it still doesn't fall back add fenofibrate 140 you your rosuvastatin. It's available in combination with rosuvastatin, just add F to brand you take Regards Dr priyank mody
