When to see a doctor
High triglyceride levels are not accompanied by any symptoms. They are mostly identified during a blood test that involves a lipid panel.
Your healthcare provider may recommend getting a lipid panel test after every 4 years to monitor your triglycerides and cholesterol levels. Your doctor recommends the next step to take based on the results of your lips panel tests. In most cases, a lifestyle adjustment that involves dietary changes and regular exercise is required. Your doctor may also prescribe drugs like fibrates or statins.
