Triglycerides? Triclycerides is a common misspelling of triglycerides.
Triglycerides are necessary for the body to produce energy and build cells. However, high levels can cause problems. In general, high triglycerides may not cause problems over days, weeks, or months. However, over years, high levels can increase your chances for heart disease or a heart attack. High triglycerides do not cause symptoms, so many people are unaware that their triglyceride level is too high. In most cases, people find out they have high triglycerides though a blood test, such as a lipid panel.
