Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
It seems that you are suffering from severe
hypertriglyceridemia.
In such case the first thing to do is life-style modification by switching to a healthy diet profile (Mediterranean or
DASH diet), performing a lot of physical activity (at least 4 km/day walking or cycling, running. swimming, etc), avoiding close
smoking contact, using no more than moderate alcoholic beverages, decreasing body weight.
If the above measurements doesn't achieve the desired results (to maintain your triglycerides level below 200 mg/dl, then it is necessary to start medication therapy. Coming to this point some alternatives are available:
- statins, fibrates, PCSK9 inhibitors, and n-3 PUFAs.
You need to discuss with your attending physician on the above issues.
Hope to have been helpful to you!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
