Take any prescribed medicine

If lifestyle changes aren’t enough to protect your blood vessels, your doctor might prescribe one or more of these medications. Drugs used to prevent CAD work by lowering cholesterol, preventing blood clots, and reducing blood pressure. These recommended medications will help with symptom relief and prevent further problems from developing.

Your doctor might recommend medicine to stop you from developing heart-related issues if you don't have CHD but have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or a family history of heart disease. It is important to take any medication as prescribed and adhere to the recommended dosage. Stopping your medication without first talking to a doctor could make your symptoms worse and harm your health.
