Your values are on the higher side of normal
Requires full values of HDL , LDL along with triglycerides and VLDL
Doesn’t need medications at present
Would advise lifestyle modifications to begin with and repeat testing after three months
Next Steps
Lifestyle modifications- diet and exercise
Brisk walking or exercising five times a week for 30mins
Given your age it’s advisable to also test for blood sugars and thyroid levels to rule out any secondary causes of raised triglycerides
Health Tips
Lifestyle modification is a must
