Hello there
You said restless, can you please describe more about it like any reason for it
did you have breathing problem
were you anxious
Any palpitaion(heart beatings) Sweating difficulty sleeping etc.
At present as far as i know you should start daily exercise at least 30-40 min which should include jogging 10-15 min, brisk walking etc. Salt restriction max up to 1-2 grams per day and Blood pressure monitoring. Few test would help like lipid profile and Blood chemistry.You may consult a General practitioner.
Hope you find my suggestion helpful. Feel free to ask any more questions.
Thanking you
Dr Samir
