HI dear medications are not required if tg levels are less then 300 mg/dl. Asians have high level of triglycerides as compared to whites due to eating habits sedantart life style and genetics. Patient with hypothyroidism are more prone to dyslipidemia. At first I would advice you a life style modification for 3 months - exercise daily for 45 minutes a day brisk walk daily at a speed not less then 5.1 km /hr daily for 15 minutes eat low salt food add fibres to you diet reduce your weight don't take ghee or butter use saffola. Rice bran oil or olive oil instead. Take low fat food avoid dairy products. After 3 months if lipids are deranged you will be prescibed a low dose fenofibrinate.

Hypothyroid leads to a slight increase in Triglycerides, your levels are not high enough to start any medications yet. you have not mentioned your LDL levels. so make sure your TSH is within normal range. Secondly diet, exercise and lifestyle patters have a major correlation with Cholesterol levels, It is important that you modify your diet to a low fat, low sugar diet (take a detailed diet consult for that) and begin with exercise, start gradually increase to 45 mins per dayof brisk walking or yoga, quit alcohol if u take. these are standard recommendations asper American and European guidelines accepted by India cardiac society also, so kindly do not pay heed to anyone who suggests to you that diet has no role to play in cholesterol management.
