Hello ,
Thanks for posting your query.
Your stress tests does show a risk of heart attack in future and you are already on hypertension medication so your doctor is right in advising you the ct scan which can demonstrate any blockage in your coronary arteries so that necessary intervention like stenting or angioplasty can be undertaken if and when required.
I would advise you to continue your antihypertensive medicines as per your doctor s prescription and get regular blood pressure check ups for dose adjustment by your treating physician.
Your liver enzymes show mild elevation from normal range and can be due to obesity or diabetes or effect of medications or a liver pathology.To confirm a clinical evaluation by your doctor might be required.
Your lipid profile results are also mildly raised than normal and so lipid lowering medicine like Tonact has been started by your doctor.
You definitely need to change your diet and lifestyle like including a healthy low fat balanced diet and atleast half an hour of mild exercise or yoga.
Try to avoid the following foods:
Oily XXXXXXX fried or processed foods, large meals with more carbohydrate like rice, potatoes, sugar etc., dairy products like ghee, cheese, paneer. Caffeinated products like coffee, tea.
Artificial fruit drinks, colas or alcohol.
Try to eat five small meals at regular intervals having plenty of XXXXXXX leafy vegetables and fibre XXXXXXX pulses.
For best result you should consult your physician who can refer you to a nutritionist or dietician for proper personal evaluation and advise.
Hope I have answered your query.
