What is Triglyceride? I was told by my doctor it was a kind of fat in blood like Cholesterol. My doctor told me that I had a very high Triglyceride level. The normal Triglyceride level should be lower than 150 and I got 350. I asked my doctor what kind of problem

it was going to cause with a high Triglyceride level. I didn’t get a straight forward answer. I did some researches and many people said that high Triglyceride level was usually accompanied with high bad Cholesterol(LDL). There are good Cholesterol(HDL) and bad Cholesterol(LDL) if you don’t know. My Cholesterol levels were in normal range though. So what is the downside of having high Triglyceride level? Doctor said that the chance of getting heart disease was higher but no specific symptom was mentioned and I could not find information talked about the symptoms of having high Triglyceride level.

I could not say that I knew the symptom of high Triglyceride but I did feel something was wrong when I had high Triglyceride. I hadn’t do my physical check up and blood test for four years before last time because I was confident about my health. But one night when I was playing badminton I felt my heart was beating very strangely. It was beating very heavily like it wanted to pop out of my body and the intermittent between each heart beat was irregular. At one point the intermittent was so long that I thought it was going to stop. I didn’t feel any pain though. I stopped playing right away that night and I went to do a physical check up and blood test next day. What came out was that everything looks great except that I had a very high Triglyceride level.

In the following days I worked very hard on lowering it. I took the medicine the doctor prescribed but I learned that best way to lower Triglyceride was not medicine. The best way was to keep a regular exercise and healthy diet. So I jog 2 miles very night, eat less at dinner like 80% full, eat less greasy food and drink green tea everyday. One and half month later my Triglyceride was lower at 135 within normal range. I shed some pounds too. I no longer feel the strange heart beat when I play badminton. My assumption is when Triglyceride level is high blood will become more sticky and harder to flow in blood stream. That will add load to heart and you will feel it when you are doing intensive exercise like badminton. One thing I learn is exercise is really important. It not only keeps up your health but also let you realize health problem earlier before it gets serious.
