Triglycerides 954 mg per dL are very high and can trigger pancreatitis again. Cut sugar, alcohol, fried foods, follow a strict low fat diet. Your doctor may start a fibrate or omega 3 capsule to bring levels below 150. Control diabetes tightly, high sugars push triglycerides up. Consult with reports to doctor.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have a cycle of 35 days and am not sexually active. Last year I got my USG done and it was normal and my blood report showed prolactin level of 70 so the doctor gave me Cabergoline 0.5 and then everything was okay. This month I am four days late and my vagina is dry with no secretions. I am feeling heaviness in the lower abdomen as if my period is going to come but it is late and not coming. Is dryness in the vagina at this time normal. What shall I do? I am really concerned please help asap.
