I am experiencing swelling in my feet and fingers, body pain, and depression with constant headache. My cholesterol is 253, which is high, and my triglycerides are also elevated.

Swelling, body pain, depression, and high cholesterol (253) together may signal an early metabolic disorder or inflammatory imbalance. High triglycerides (if present), thyroid dysfunction, or vitamin deficiencies can all cause these symptoms. Depression may also amplify pain and fatigue. Its important to check your lipid profile, thyroid (TSH), vitamin D/B12, and CRP, and begin light exercise and a heart friendly diet.
Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...
Take a LIPID PROFILE Test or Take a THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE (TSH) Test

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?
