Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Due to strong family history of ischemic heart disease (IHD), high blood pressure and high cholesterol, you are at high risk of development of IHD or other heart diseases in future.
So better to follow these steps.
1. Strict control of blood pressure is needed. So take your antihypertensive drugs timely. Get done regular (monthly) blood pressure monitoring with doctor.
2. Strict salt restrictions in diet is needed.
3. Avoid oily and fatty food.
4. Do regular aerobic exercise like running, cycling, swimming etc.
5. Avoid stress and tension if you are having stressful life.
6. Get done regular lipid profile,ecg, 2d echo and stress test once a year.
7. Start lipid lowering agents like atorvastatin or rosuvastatin.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
