You definitely need to start exercise and diet right away. Exercise of at least 45min walking every day and when I say diet you need to control calories (depending on your weight and activity level.) No sweets and fried or very oily food. If you are over weight reduce your weight. Need for medicines depends on multiple other factors such BP, diabetes, smoking etc and need to accesses by physician or cardiologist. And decide to start medicines
Next Steps
