What are the major contributing factors to a high level of triglyceride?
It seems to be fairly genetic and seems to pertain to the levels of insulin in your body and how your body uses insulin. However, high triglyceride levels are only a minor risk factor for coronary disease. Some authors cite that they are unrelated. They are related to the eventual development of diabetes mellitus and DM is a risk factor for heart disease. Very high levels will increase the risk of pancreatitis(usually over 10,000 or so). Weight loss and exercise are the best treatment options. Focus more on your cholesterol and start exercising to head off any risk of diabetes mellitus.

Triglycerides / Premarin Question: I have been on premarin for a year now and I am 53. My cholesterol and triglycerides increased substantially. I was put on zocor and I feel I have familiar hypertriglyceremia. I am wondering if it is safe to take premarin or if there is an alternative medication that is available? Also, my blood pressure occasionally rises in times of stress. I exercise for 30 minutes
