Hello XXXXXXX
After going through the medical details provided by you I would like to tell you that yes its a bit disheartening when after such an hard work and achievement of the goal when you get to know such a thing. But don't worry everything will be back to normal hopefully.
Before I proceed further I would like to know few things like
1. Do you smoke or any past history of smoking?
2. Family history of heart disease?
3. When was the last time you checked your Bp and blood sugar?
Kindly revert back with the required information.

No one in family has a history of any heart disease.

Today morning fasting sugar was 103 and pp was 105 and bp was 110/70 in almost all the three readings that I took today.

Brief Answer:
Hello Again
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the feedback.
Dear eating tobacco has almost similar effect as that of smoking. And ypu are doing that for last 10 years.
Tobacco has a very deleterious effect on blood vessels as it promotes atherosclerosis ultimately leading to a heart disease.
If you are still consuming tobacco then you have to stop it completely now.
Yes you need to refrain from heavy exertional activities as per your doctors advise and also you have to stick strictly with the meds provided by your doctor.
We will repeat an Echo after 3 months to see the status. But it's now very important to take the medicines very regularly.
I hope this information will be helpful. Please revert back if you have any more doubts or else you can close the discussion and kindly rate the answer
