Triglycerides

2024-01-06 17:41:51
Hello Doctors ,After consuming chicken last night, I observed an elevated cholesterol level, particularly Triglycerides (TGL) reaching 280 to 300. However, when I refrain from consuming non-vegetarian food and undergo a test the following morning, my cholesterol level consistently measures 150 to 160. I have verified this on three occasions. I would appreciate your professional opinion, Doctor. Is this scenario possible, and do you recommend taking medication for this?.

It happens to all, it's normal. That is the reason triglycerides are best checked after 8-12hrs of fasting.
