My cholesterol LDL's are good (71),but my HDL's are too low (36) and my tris are way too high (283),help!!1


My doctor has me on Triamterene already,is there some kind of diet that I can go on to improve my numbers even more? I'm five foot seven and weigh 190. My chest is forty two inches and my waist is thirty seven. I try to lift weights at least once a week. I walk at least twice a week.

your doctor needs to answer these questions -not Yahoo.

your trigs ARE high. You can try cutting back on sugar, sweets, and white breads. There are med to lower your trig levels (Tricor for one, but needs a prescription). You should also talk to your Dr about getting a FBS (fasting blood sugar level) and HbA1C (hemoglobin). Sometimes when your trigs are high they can indicate a problem such as diabetes. Hope that helps... ( try diet first, recheck labs)....

Eat more fish, especially fatty fishes like salmon to raise that HDL. You can also take fish oil supplements.
