Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Your sugar and cholesterol are borderline.
You need further tests – for getting proper advice
– (GTT) Glucose Tolerance Test / Sugar fasting /1, 2 & 3 hours after drinking 75 Grams of glucose
– LIPID PROFILE / There are subdivisions of cholesterol like LDL, HDL as also Triglyceride and so on.
You are obese – You have to reduce your WEIGHT drastically.
Diet and Exercise are the cornerstones.
The most important aspect is DIET. You need both quantitative and qualitative changes. You have to see a Dietician – you will need several sessions to get a good grasp – Calories, food Exchanges, Glycemic Index, Saturated and UNsaturated Fats, role of Salt and so on
You should EXERCISE regularly – at least 20 minutes a day / 5 days a week.
Your blood PRESSURE needs to come down further. You may add ARB (Angiotensin Receptor Blocker). They are available as a single tablet in combination with your other drug amlodipine(Stamlo).
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
