I am a CAD patient for the past 2 years. My recent lipid profile shows triglycerides of 256 mg/dL, while other values are in the normal range. I am currently taking Atorvastatin 20 mg, Aspirin Clopidogrel 75 mg, Metoprolol 50 mg, and Ramipril 5 mg. Earlier, my triglycerides were around 160 mg/dL, but this time they have risen to 256 mg/dL. What steps should I take to reduce my triglycerides?

Triglycerides 256 is high, especially in CAD patients. Avoid fried food, sugar, and alcohol. Continue heart medications. Increase fiber and exercise. Repeat Lipid Profile after 3 months.

How to lower my cholesterol and triglycerides in two months?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I was diagnosed with grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, and my blood pressure has generally been low for the last several years. Does this have any serious cause? My LDL and triglyceride levels are also above the normal range.
