Having said this, I wouldn't worry too much about this. Triglycerides are a minimal risk factor for coronary disease and some would say not a risk factor at all. They are a risk factor to eventually develop diabetes mellitus and I'd check your sugar every other year or so. 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. 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. My cholesterol and triglycerides increased substantially. Also, my blood pressure occasionally rises in times of stress.
