Hi... Do not worry too much about getting a heart attack... I am going to advice you on your concerns...
You are on Telma 40 ( Telmisartan 40mg) for hypertension; please continue this drug along with some lifestyle modifications that I suggest.
Lifestyle modifications
Avoid stress - Do Yoga, meditation and involve yourself in social activities
Physical activity - Exercise regularly, do brisk walking daily and avoid a sedentary lifestyle. This helps in avoiding stress also.
Diet - Follow a strict diet, cut down on junk and oily food; reduce salt intake and increase fresh fruits and vegetables
You haven't mentioned about the lipid levels. If it's high, it will reduce with above changes or we can add a medication for reducing the levels of it is very high.
Finally continue the medications with regular blood pressure measurements and consultation with your treating physician. Once stress comes down, I hope you might need reduction in dose also. Hope this helps. Thanks.
