My test results...8/14/09
TC ..150 TriG.... 554 HDL...23 LDL...cannot be measured but in the past were >100. A1C... 5.5 Glucose.... 90
5ft 7in tall.. 215lbs. 42yrs old. male Family history of high cholesterol.
Meds...simvastatin ...40mg Niaspan ..1500mg Fish oil ... 1200mg Aspirin ..325mg
My trigs were a lot lower on Lipitor and 1000mg of Niaspan...Trig level averaged 289.
Now that my health insurance put me on simvastatin and I increased my Niaspan to 1500mg, my Trig are 554? What? Why?
Is it the statin? I did have BLT's and choc pie the night before test. Would that matter?
Also, I was told statins decrease any buildup in the aerteries so if my LDL is low, you should be good right?
Should I demand a stress test or some other test to check for any buildup in my aerteries?
Can someone please explain my actual risk? My doctor is way too vauge.
Thanks,
Ron
