I have triglycerides of 275 mg/dL. What should I do?
A triglyceride level of 275 mg/dL is high, but it can often be improved. You should consult your doctor, who may first recommend lifestyle changes such as improving your diet, increasing physical activity, managing weight, and limiting alcohol, and then recheck your levels. Whether medication is needed depends on your overall health, other risk factors, and how well your triglycerides respond, so treatment should be based on your doctor’s personalised advice.
