Grats on the results!!
Cholesterol pills, no.
BP medication, depends. The BP meds are prescribed because they have been shown to protect the kidneys from damage, and maybe protect against other microvascular damage. There a a couple of different types but they all basically have teh same primary effect, though side effects may vary, or be non existance, from person to person.
I’ve been on both types (ARB and ACE inhibitors) for the past year, with no serious side effects. I was prescrbed them because I was spilling a small amount of protein. Haven’t had a problem since.
So, the can be prophylactic against microvascular damage, they can have no serious side effects, and they can be effective if you are having issues. OTOH, they can have serious side effects and they can lower your BP to dangerously low levels if you already have normal BP (The dose has to be adjusted either way).
Whether or not you decide to follow your docs advice on taking them, or not, there should be a period of time where you are being followed closely to look for side effects and correct dosage.
Good luck!!
