- No he is not a heart attack waiting to happen. The triglycerides are high but not scary high and the cause has been identified and will be corrected. Many dietary supplements can mess up liver function and this will have an effect on the triglycerides. What is important is that he follows up with his doc. His liver levels and I suspect his triglycerides will come down quite nicely once these supplements have been stopped. NO-xplode and a variety of similar products can do harm. Be happy he had his levels checked. I hope this helps. Regards.
- man I don't know nothing about that - however the number 491 is high. What is your husband trying to do, make you a widow?! You can always go to webmd and see what they say or wikipedia. Man this is a bad situation you are in - I hope it works out for you.
- Do not worry. He is not on a heart attack time bomb waiting to happen. The triglycerides may be high in relative terms but at least the cause of the high level has been identified and will be corrected. Many dietary supplements can mess up liver function and this will have an effect on the triglycerides. What is important is that he follows up with his doc. Once he comply with the different diet, his liver levels and I suspect his triglycerides will come down quite nicely once these supplements have been stopped. At least relax and be happy that he did get to see the GP had his levels checked. I hope this helps
- Stop taking too much of sugar and carbohydrates and other sweets. Do physical daily, as the figures are high OK.
