I've been really worried about whether a TMT or an echo is better for checking for blockages. I mean, if I want to make sure nothing's wrong, which test should I go for?

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?

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.
