Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! I went to the hospital last week for a thorough examination, and the results showed high triglycerides. I would like to consult you about what high triglycerides indicate. Have I contracted any disease? What treatment would be best for me now? What should I pay attention to in my diet?Doctor's answer:
High triglycerides in this condition indicate an increase in blood viscosity and the presence of atherosclerosis. If this situation reoccurs, it is advisable to pay attention to a low-salt, low-fat diet. Avoid fatty meats, and the daily intake of salt should not exceed six grams. Medications such as Simvastatin can be used to treat this condition. These drugs can help lower blood lipid levels. Additionally, it is important to engage in sufficient physical exercise regularly.
