Patient's question:
I've been having frequent dizziness lately, and I can't seem to eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's a blood-related issue. I was wondering, what should I do about high triglycerides?Doctor's answer:
Hypertriglyceridemia is an expression of high blood lipid levels, and this condition must be treated promptly. If blood lipids are high, it can easily lead to the exacerbation of atherosclerosis, increasing the risk of various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, as well as worsening high blood pressure. Pay attention to your diet, follow a low-salt, low-fat diet, avoid greasy and fried foods, and base your diet on light and simple foods. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, engage in appropriate physical activity, and lower your immunity. Try to eat less food high in cholesterol. If blood lipids are too high, oral lipid-lowering drugs such as Simvastatin may be necessary. Strictly control your blood pressure.
