I have high triglycerides, elevated TSH, and low vitamin D levels. What can I do to manage these conditions?
Management involves a combination of lifestyle changes and medications. For high triglycerides, follow a heart-healthy diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, exercise regularly, limit intake of sugar and alcohol, and take statin medications if prescribed. Elevated TSH may indicate hypothyroidism, which requires evaluation by an endocrinologist for possible thyroid hormone therapy (e.g., levothyroxine). Low vitamin D can be corrected with safe sun exposure, dietary sources, and supplementation as recommended by a doctor. Regular follow-up and monitoring through laboratory tests are important.
