Dear,
Thanks for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern
Going through lipid profile which show elevated triglycerides, others being normal, I suggest only lifestyle modifications like exercise and avoiding high-fat diets and no medication for the present.
In view of the family history of heart disease, do an echocardiogram and treadmill to assess the heart condition.
Periodically check your lipid profile once in a year.
Regards
Dr Satish

Dear Sir
Thanks for reply..I had done echocardiogram and tread mill test in Jan 2014.Results were normal.
As per u r view,should I discontinue with prescribed medicine i.e;Azator 10mg?Also Is there no worry regarding any heart disease ?Are the results normal except to reduce triglycerides level?
Thanks
Ashish
Dear Ashish,
Since your triglycerides are only increased and being young age, just controlling your diet and eating healthy green leafy vegetables and fruits can help in controlling your lipid profile. I would suggest to continue lifestyle modifications and to avoid taking any tabs to control triglycerides.
Daily exercise for at least 45 to 60 min a day.
These measures will help in controlling your triglycerides.
Check your lipid profile after 3 months.
