What Is Metabolic Syndrome?
10. Medical Treatment
Your doctor may want to add some medications to treat your condition. Statins can reduce LDL and triglycerides, and high blood pressure can be treated with ACE inhibitors, diuretics, or beta-blockers. You may also be given diabetes medications or treatment for blood clots.
Aggressive lifestyle changes can make a difference in metabolic syndrome. Be sure your health care provider is aware of the steps you are taking to regain your health — partner with a doctor who wants to work with and encourage you through your journey.
