As a 35-year-old taking Cresar AM for high blood pressure, do my recent high cholesterol and blood fat test results mean I need to start taking daily cholesterol medication, or can I successfully lower these numbers through diet and exercise alone?

Since you are already taking Cresar AM (telmisartan/amlodipine) for blood pressure, managing your cholesterol is indeed important for your heart health. Whether you need daily medication right away depends on your exact lipid numbers and overall cardiovascular risk. For many young adults, a dedicated three- to six-month trial of heart-healthy dietary changes and regular exercise can successfully lower cholesterol. I highly recommend sharing your specific test results with your doctor to see if a lifestyle-first approach is safe and appropriate for you.
