42, normal weight, very good diet, yet, very high triglycerides (245.) cholesterol 172. on beta block's for fast hr. how can i bring trigs down?

Complex case: Beta blockers are known to predispose one to diabetes, which can result in elevated triglycerides. I recommend trying to change to a calcium channel blocker to control your rapid heart rate. Metformin, 500 mg 3 times daily, and Acarbose 100 mg three times daily (with meals) will lower your triglycerides. Let me know how you do.
