High Triglycerides

Why were you prescribed Lorazepam?

It may be time to change Docs. Why wait for a major cardiovascular event?

Thanks, Miller. I acknowledged in my next post that counting triglycerides as part of total cholesterol seems to be common after all. Since this is obviously a heuristic formula, you can expect the coefficient in front of the triglyceride level to vary from source to source. From a biochemical point of view it should be zero, because as I said, triglycerides aren't types of cholesterol. They're a different class of substances.

Medical people sometimes use classifications that make no sense biochemically, but work for them in practice. I guess this is one such time.

insomnia I guess, my surgeon started me on it the day after my hip replacement and my primary has kept me on it since then.

Following my last blood test that showed mildly high triglycerides while my cholesterol was OK, my physician said I should take fish oil and get more exersize. That's why I bought the exercise bike and take fishies.

Walking. Do at least a brisk 30 minute walk each day. It's the easiest way to add exercise to your life, and it will do you wonders.

I walked after dinner tonight. Thanks for the reminded, Wilso.

It's also good for digestion!

Not good for the purse, though. I bought 50 bucks worth of books and only one was a gift (at least three will be tax write-offs).

Another walk this evening, before dinner. I took a garden tour of the neighborhood.

Humpf! Every time I get something that could be written off, it turns out I lose money by giving up the standard deduction.

Maybe I should get me an accountant.
