Is it safe to take Flaxseed Oil

Question

Asked for Male, 37 Years

Hi Doctor, I have a blood pressure of 130/110 almost consistently, high cholesterol (264 checked last year August), fatty liver diagnosed at around the same time last year. I work in the nightshift throughout the year. I smoke one pack a day for almost 20 years. I drink alcohol occasionally, once or twice a month maximum. My question is, is it safe to take Flaxseed Oil Capules in my case, and what should be the dosage? Thank you in advance for your response.
