One must drink alcohol in moderation as it is one of the major reasons for unexplained high cholesterol along with unhealthy foods. Also, exercise for 5 days a week so that cholesterol levels are in check.

Take a CRYOGLOBULINS Test or Take a Serum Iron test 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?

One month back, I experienced a blackout while sitting in a bus. The doctor prescribed medicine after seeing high cholesterol: ROSEDAY 10. The doctor advised me to revisit after one month with an echo, lipid profile, and HUTT test. I am fine now. Please advise what I should do next?
