Dear patient
Thanks for your concerns. If you smoke cigarrettes you should quit, if you dont keep it that way! Blood pressure should be maintained below 140/90 consistently; your HDL is quite low so on top of your medications, regular exercise of aerobic type, at least 150 minutes weekly (more even better) will help with that along with a good Mediterranean type diet with lots of fruits vegetables olive oil nuts and lean protein. Keep taking all your medications as prescribed
