Could Medicines For Asthma Increase Levels Of Triglycerides?
Hi, I have Acute Asthma/COPD for the last seven years. I have been on high levels of steroids for my breathing this last year and now my Triglycerides levels came back high but all other Cholesterol levels are normal. I am going to see my doctor next week but was wondering if the steroids for my Asthma could have something to increase my levels from 179 to 310 in one year.

Dear
unfortunately corticosteroids can increase all parameters but not only triglycerides
Triglycerides alone can be increased after alcohol abuse (even in small doses)
Anyway you need to start treatment
