Hi, changes of ischemia present.
To prevent further ischemia and heart damage antihypertensive has to be started (enalapril or amlodipine).
sugar level should get controlled.for that take low sugar diet.if still not controlled start metformin.
Strictly avoid smoke to prevent heart attack.
Avoid high lipid diet and fast foods.take more water.
Low salt diet should be taken. Here damage to heart can't be reverted now.but further ischemic attack can be prevented.
Take aspirin tablet regularly.
If lipid high atorvastatin started
