Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Does Triglyceride-345 And Cholesterol-240 From Lipid Profile Indicate?
My age is 40,weight is 76kgs and height is 5 feet and 11 inches. My heartbeat is 82 and blood pressure is 130/80. When ever I try to exercise, after someday my blood pressure becomes high and I feel problem in breathing. I did lung x-ray and it shows o.kay. I tested my lipid profile and hemoglobin test and eeg[color doppler] test. Av is slightly enlarged. In lipid profile triglyceride is 345 and cholesterol is 240. I checked my diet and took medicines. The problem is less but not totally cured.
The increase in blood pressure values is quite normal during physical activity and emotional stress in every healthy individual.
But, if your blood pressure values are persistently above the normal ranges (125/85mm Hg) you may need to start anti-hypertensive therapy.
I would also recommend starting statins considering your high cholesterol and triglyceride levels. In the meantime, I recommend reducing caffeine and salt intake.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
