Saturday, June 02, 2007 at 06:30 AMHave you been in a cardiac rehab program? How is your BMI? Weight loss can reduce triglycerides, which are often tied to carbohydrate intake.
What do you consider "moderate" exercise? Do you exercise at least thirty minutes daily to the appropriate aerobic level? This can be determined by your rehab nurse, as medications and exercise tolerance are linked to heart rate goals. (Recommendations are at least five days weekly.) Good luck....

High Triglycerides
Bob MacKay
Friday, June 08, 2007 at 09:10 AMI've been in the same boat, in Canada, for a number of years. HDL, and LDL appear to be Okay. Tri's are off the mark. Weight control seems to help, as well as no alcohol. Niaspan was working but I developed an allergic reaction and had to stop. Now I am not on any meds for cholesterol at all, and that has me worried. I seem to have reactions to most of the related meds, with sore muscles etc. Good luck! I'll follow this question with interest.

Sore Muscles

I also had the sore musles symptoms - very badly so. Until I started taking Co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplements. The pains disappeared to this day. The sore muscles are often related to statin drugs being prescribed for cholesterol and or high trigl. But over and above that, CoQ10 is an excellent supplement to take.
