Question: Hello I hope you are doing well. Please can you help me with your response. I am 36 year old and from almost 5 years suffer from hypertension and high blood cholesterol. I have begun taking this kind of pill that I will attach in this message. I take one pill in a day and I do not know it is harmful or for have long should I take this. Meanwhile should I take fish oil? Thank you a lot. I want to emphasise that even though I take this cholesterol pill my analysis always are higher than the limit. Thank you again
Brief Answer:
No need to take regular medication for cholesterol
Detailed Answer:
Dear Mrs,
In your age you have low cardiovascular risk, even if you have arterial hypertension.
If you control your blood pressure and have healthy lifestyle you will still have low cardiovascular risk for the next 5 years and there will be no need for cholesterol lowering medication even if your cholesterol is high.
You can take your medication for a month, it is not harmful and there is no need for fish oil, as it already contains omega 3. Meanwhile start active lifestyle changes with low sodium and low cholesterol diet, exercise much and regulate your blood pressure and everything will be ok.
Take care
