Hello,
The level of triglycerides is very high so the patient needs treatment. I suggest using a statin such as Simvastatin 20 mg daily, one tablet a day for a period of three months. I also recommend regular check up of the lipids for further evaluation. You should eat a healthy diet and avoid grassy food which may trigger the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
