Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I've checked your lipid profile results and you have high level of triglycerides, but HDL and cholesterol are normal. For high levels of triglycerides I recommend you physical activity to lower your weight, diet low on fats, keep taking fish oil capsuls and take fibrates pills like Fenofibrate, which is different from statins that you have allergy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
