Is There A Treatment To Lower The Triglycerides?
Sir, I am aged 58 years and my height is 5.4” and my weight is 73 kgs. I am using using Loscar-H for the past 4 years for hypertension and my BP is under control. Recently I felt tired and uneasiness in chest while walking. I have taken Lipid profile ( total Cholesterol -164, HDL- 31, LDL-91, Triglycerides-208, VLDL-42) Dr. advised to take Lipicard today. Is it necessary or can I lower my Triglycerides by diet. Kindly advise. Thank you.
