How can I determine if my triglyceride levels are normal, and what medicine should I take if they're not?
Asked by Male, 55 · 2 months ago
You can know if your triglyceride levels are normal through a blood test called a lipid profile. Normal fasting triglycerides are usually less than 150 mg/dL. If your levels are high, do not start medicines on your own; a doctor will suggest the right treatment, which may include lifestyle changes and possibly prescription medicines depending on your results and overall health.
