No, it is not yet in the danger zone. It will come under the danger zone if your levels goes above 200mg/dl

Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...

Take a Apollo Basic Hormone Check Test or Take a Free Prostatic Specific Antigen (FPSA)- Serum Test

How to control triglycerides and cholesterol levels?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I recently had my lipid profile done, and my triglycerides are 193 mg/dL, while the normal limit is less than 150 mg/dL. My weight and BMI are normal, but I delivered a baby 8 months ago, consumed a lot of desi ghee, and currently have minimal physical activity. Could you please advise how I can reduce my triglycerides? Do I need medication, or can it be managed with diet and lifestyle changes?
