Hard to say: It depends on what other meds you are taking. If you are overweight, lose weight, which helps everything. Otherwise we don't know enough about your history to advise you sensibly or appropriately. Talk to your doc and consider a second opinion if you want further reassurance by someone who has your complete medical records and can examine you in person.
