Hey man!: The last decade's worth of studies of fish oils and vascular health have been horribly disappointing. I suggest you stop worrying, do more of the physical fitness stuff that you love doing, and get rechecked in three months. This may be your body's way of asking you for more exercise. You'll look good, feel good, and I'll make a side bet that the triglycerides are way down.
