Brief Answer:
Start medicines

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.

Your Triglycerides are extremely high and they require treatment. You would need to be started on a combination of Atorvastatin and Fenofibrate.

Life style changes are warranted along with this as medicines ca be later discontinued and life style changes can be adopted for natural control for cholesterol.

I would advise you to:

1.Reduce your weight.

2.Avoid Fatty food in diet.

3.To consume potato, rice, oil, ghee, sweets, carbonated beverages in moderated amount only.

4. Avoid alcohol and smoking in case you do.

Get your lipid profile repeated after 1 month and write back to me with reports.

This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
Dr Anshul Varshney , MD
