I'm a bit concerned as my recent blood test showed a triglyceride level of 143. I'm wondering if that's considered high and if I should be worried about it. Do you think I need to take medicine for this, or are there lifestyle changes that could help lower my levels?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Triglyceride level of 143 is within the normal range. To help reduce triglyceride levels, you can make lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption. You can also consider adding Omega-3 fatty acids supplements to your diet. No medication is required at this level.

View allI'm really worried because last year I had strong issues with acidity, anxiety, and headaches. I even got an ECG in June 2018, and everything was normal back then. But since January 2019, I've been experiencing these sudden strong heartbeats that feel like a thump in my chest, even when Im just walking around. It's really upsetting and makes me anxious for days, thinking about why it's happening. Lately, I cant sleep at night and sometimes feel really empty and lacking enthusiasm. I saw a cardiologist who prescribed me Inderal, but Im just trying to understand what could be causing all this. Any idea what's going on with me?
Inderal can help control your physical symptoms, and addressing underlying anxiety through therapy, relaxation techniques, and lifestyle changes should improve your overall well-being. If youre feeling stuck, consider discussing these issues further with your doctor or a mental health professional.
