<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.hi my BP is 140100 and varies somewhere in that range. I have cholestral of 230 and tryglycerides of 320. MY Ha1c test for sugar came out to be 6.8. Do I need to go on medication. My doctor said I should try for weight loss and come back in 3 months to test. And if still no improvement then go on meds. Is that ok? or should i get a second opinion.  <response>: Hello, Yes, this is also the way provided you are able to follow healthy lifestyle and achieve weight loss. You should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly thrice a day for one week then once or twice a week. If Blood Pressure BP is persistently more than 14090 mm Hg, then you should be on medicines for it. Do regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity at least 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Have lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, and fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldnt be abdominal fat deposition or obesity. You should also get fasting and post lunch sugar done. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
