I have been diagnosed with high triclycerides. I am allergic to statins so my Dr. recommended taking 4 grams of fish oil capsules a day. i started taking the 4 capsules a week and a half ago. I broke out in hives 2 nights ago. I haven't changed my diet and i only take XARELTO for A FIB. Has anyone had a similar issue with large doses of fish oil?

    I take red yeast rice and one fish oil cap a day.. it has brought my cholestral down dramatically,, but you do have to take coq 10 umbiquinol with it.. are you allergic to fish in general?? i dont take anywhere near 4 grams a day tho.. I think it is 600 mg
