Changing your diet, losing weight, and exercising are lifestyle changes you can make for lowering triglycerides. People with high triglycerides also tend to respond well to a fish or fish oil diet. If an untreated medical condition is causing your triglyceride levels to rise, it is important to get the condition under control. Certain medications can also increase triglycerides, so your healthcare provider may recommend switching to other drugs that do not elevate triglyceride levels.
