Good Question: Start with visit to your healthcare provder. Need good history (lots of questions by the provider), good examination, blood work, urine tests and EKG IF all ok.....3-6 mo trial of better diet and exercise 30-60min, 5x/wk. F/U with provider in 3mo. IF no change, another 3 mo. After 6 mo, if no change, need to start medication. Discuss with provider pros/cons of the different meds.
