View allI recently did my routine test, and I'm quite worried about my lipid profile, especially the triglycerides, which don't look great. Should I consider getting more tests done, or is it time to start medication? My total cholesterol level is at 177 mg, triglycerides are 327 mg, HDL cholesterol is 37 mg, non-HDL cholesterol reads 140 mg, and LDL cholesterol is 108 mg with an atherosclerosis index of 5. I'd really appreciate some detailed advice on what steps I should take next.
Based on your lipid profile results, your triglyceride levels are high at 327mgdL. To help lower your triglyceride levels, you can start taking Omega-3 fatty acids supplements such as Lovaza 1-4 grams per day. Additionally, you can consider starting a statin medication like Lipitor (Atorvastatin) at a dose of 10-80 mg per day to help lower your LDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. It is important to also focus on lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, regular exercise, and weight management. Regular monitoring of your lipid profile will be necessary to track your progress.
