Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Telma (telmisartan) is a good medicine to control high blood pressure. And it should be continued lifelong, as in most people, high BP does not get cured, however, it can be kept under good control with medications.
Of the other reports, your cholesterol and triglycerides are high. For that, you should do regular exercises, and reduce fat in your diet. If cholesterol remains high despite these measures, you may need medications for the same.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM
