Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 28 years old male. I tested my blood triglyceride and cholesterol. I have a triglyceride of 3.07 mg/dL and cholesterol of 4.33 mg/dL. I am worried about my high triglyceride level. Currently, I am taking Atenolol 25 mg in the morning. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. Your triglyceride level is at a higher level than the upper normal value. Several causes increase the blood triglyceride levels. Foods rich in fats such as dairy products, and meat can increase triglyceride. Other exogenous substances may also affect the level. Beta blockers such as Atenolol can also raise the blood lipid profile (triglycerides). An increase in blood triglyceride level is approached appropriately by modifying the diet profile by reducing fatty-rich components and increasing the intake of plenty of fibers, such as vegetables, and fruits. Having a physically active lifestyle every day and avoiding risk factors like close smoking contacts and excessive alcohol consumption are very helpful. If there is no improvement, then medications can help. Take Ciprofibrate 100 mg in capsules, one capsule daily. You should consult your doctor soon.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
