Dear patient,
Normal triglycerides would be less than 150 so the value is not that worrisome; in your case good control of the hypothyroidism is essential, before specific treatment of the lipids is considered. If despite good control of thyroid the levels are high, diet, exercise and a medication may be indicated.
