Underweight, normal cholesterol, but very high triglycerides? At 90ish lbs I'm slightly underweight (according to my Body Mass Index of 18), I don't eat more than 1000 calories a day (not much of an appetite), and my total cholesterol is 180 (HDL 55, LDL unknown), BUT my triglyceride level is 500 (which is too high for accurate LDL calculation). This was after 12 hours of fasting, and no one in my family has high triglycerides. I had the test done at a free community screening event, and won't have health insurance or a doctor until about a month or so from now. In the meantime, does anyone have any ideas about my high triglycerides or if I should be concerned? (I know I at least don't have to worry about pancreatitis because that usually only occurs with triglyceride levels above 1000.) Thanks for any help! Blood sugar was also normal, so diabetes is not a concern

EXTREMELY High Triglycerides ??? ? My dad is 40 and has high blood pressure and high cholesterol ( all these things run in the family ) & his triglycerides are 444 ( normal is 150) so his are REALLY right. He has changed to eating aol meal and Cheerios for breakfast rather than Egg and bacon or sausage ( something he has been eating his whole life). Also he is now eating whole wheal bread and light butter. He is also starting to exercises regularly. So, now that you have the basics, my question is..... what are some low cholesterol & low saturated fat meals he can eat? (please include recipes and Cholesterol and saturated fat content if possible.) Thanks in advance!

Mystery medical case - high triglycerides.? Please help! My mother has been going to doctor after doctor trying to figure out what is wrong with her. She has a history of obesity but lost some weight through Nutrisystem and then started a regimen of walking five times a week. She had to stop because her feet and ankles were swelling profusely (like baseballs) and she was having electrifying pain up her legs. I thought it was because she was overweight, but the amount of pain she was experiencing was not commensurate with her weight. The doctors told her that it wasn't normal to have such pain. Additionally, her triglycerides are sky-high (even with meds), she has overall high cholesterol, and after eating, experiences swelling and hardness in her stomach along with gas. I am nervous because there is a history of internal cancers in my family. The doctor knows about the history, but has yet to find anything. I also worry because my mother has a large stomach that would make it more difficult to find tumors or abnormal growths. I am hoping that these symptoms may ring a bell to someone out there. Any serious suggestions I can look into are welcome. Also, I should have added that she had her gallbladder removed 15 years ago. It was full of gallstones - I am not sure if it was removed for that reason or a different one.
Very high triglycerides (878)... diet advice? I'm male, 32, vegetarian, 5'10", 176 lbs. I recently got some blood levels checked, and apart from slightly-higher-than-average LDL and slightly-lower-than-average HDL, my triglycerides value is 878 (eight hundred and seventy eight). That's pretty high, it seems. Now: 1. I used to average 10 drinks a week; it's down to three. 2. I used to smoke 40 a day; I've quit. 3. I used to get zero exercise; I now walk an hour a day. I'll get on to more serious exercise when I can, but what should I be doing about my diet? I'm vegetarian, but I'd eat 300 grams of cheese as part of breakfast every once in a while (Brie, in case you're wondering!), or use about 80 grams of butter on my bread. Things like that... But there's this whole thing about what to avoid: alcohol, or fat, or carbohydrates, or sugar?? I'm lost! Until I had this checkup, I'd never thought about diet... Please help! I've been prescribed medication, and given my lifestyle changes, how long would it take for the TG to come down?

Which added to my stress, Which lead to high blood pressure (Hypotension) Took water pills for the hypotension, Which lead to dangerously low Potassium levels (In the 1 range).. Dropped water pills and took potassium pills.. Which lead to 2 cancelations of my surgery.. (low potassium) Potassium pills finally kicked in and surgery was a go. Surgery complete.. No tumor.. Don't have paper in front of me.. But it was basically and over worked gland. Ok.. Surgery over... Follow up with family doctor.. Blood pressures ok and potassium is ok.. Lets do nothing for 3 months.. OK... 3 Months later.. Blood pressures still in check as along with everything.. See me again in 3 months.. Go get blood work done... Day of office visit.. .. (continued) Blood pressure checked.. 123/82... Yippie!!! Best blood pressure reading yet!.. Laughs at nurse and says.. "whew no pills for me".. She smiles and say the doctor will discuss this with you when she comes in... She leaves doctor enters with a bombshell! Triglycerides are 891!! Normal is 30-190!

31 year old man with very high triglycerides and experiencing night sweats.? I am not very overweight, at 5'10" and 81kg, and I have a relatively healthy lifestyle although I do smoke quite a bit. When I last had blood-work done all of my cholesterol levels were fine except the triglycerides which were nearly off-the-chart. The night-sweats are getting worse now, so I know I will need to see a specialist, I just wanted to know if any other men have experienced this combination and might give me an idea what to prepare for. Online, all I seem to find for this combination is hormone imbalance or menopause, the former I have no other symptoms and the latter.. well, that would just be impossible wouldn't it!
My doctor just told me that my triglycerides are high. He recommended fish oil pills x3perday.? Ok I know I am overweight.

I heard they made you burp yucky smelling ugh! I don't eat a whole lot of red meat but I will cut it out 95% if that's what it takes.

For anybody who has dealt with this, What did you do? I don't eat a lot of fried foods, and have been eating more fish for several years now. Any suggestions?
