Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Your triglycerides are really high and needs to be brought down to less than 150.

Non-pharmocologic methods include weight reduction, reduced carbohydrate and bad fat intake along with exercises. Take lot of fiber in diet.
Pharmacologic methods include statins or fibrate drugs. Take a prescription from your doctor.
The triglycerides are alarmingly high and needs to be under check.

Any further queries, happy to help again.
