Turning 42 in a month and just got prescribed with zestoretic, lipotor, and scheduled a meeting with an Audiologist to address my tinidus. All in one Doctor's visit.

Tinnitus
Probably going to be related to some early hearing loss.

39 - Take crestor and baby aspirin daily. Family history so the heart doc prescribed it as preventative maintenance.

He would have given you an antidepressant too if you’d asked. Just doing his pharmaceutical sales job.

Was prescribed them in my mid-30's and made lifestyle changes so I no longer need them. I know not everyone is on meds because of lifestyle choices so it might not pertain to you, but if you are, getting off and staying off meds can be a great motivator to make some positive changes.

I'm 36 and I am on Crestor for my cholesterol. It's only 20mg a day, but it's help a lot. High cholesterol runs in my family

Been taking it about a year when I remember. Normally just take like 3 pills on the day I have my FAA physical and then throw it in the drawer and forget about it. I had put on some weight though. I've lost 25 lbs since Oct and hoping to lose 15-20 more. I assume that will help a bit.
I've got bad tinnitus too. My left ear hS been ringing for about a year straight. If I ever go insane that will be the reason.

What are your cholesterol numbers?

That drug is clearly intended for or unlikely to be understood by only a small number of people with specialized knowledge or interest.

Well past 40s and normal labs. No meds. Last check up the doc asked if I was on prescription medication. I said, “No.” He chuckled and said the program asked, “Are you sure”?
It seems someone pushing retirement; not on medication is extremely rare nowadays.
Our country is in a crisis. Everyone is on at least one medication it seems.

45 for hypertension and mid 50's for Lipitor.
I take the lipitor very infrequently. It does a number on cholesterol. If I take it 2xs a week I get to total 175 and LDL around 70.
I have been on two different blood pressure meds.
Watch out for the diuretic that often is prescribed with or in addition to the blood pressure. I did a water fast a few years ago and got in serious doo doo when my magnesium and potassium levels tanked. I thought I was having a heart attack. The diuretic can strip you of minerals if you arent careful.

I'm 36 and I am on Lisinopril. I'm fat and have a (to me) high pressure job. My tinitis is also awful.

Started amlodipine, which is pretty low-level stuff, last year at 43. Turn 44 next month. But nothing else other than what I take on a preemptive basis due to family history. There's a lot of factors involved which include age and genetics.

Lose weight. I was on my HBP meds and cholesterol meds for about 5 years. Lost 50 lbs, and no longer need any of it. Good luck
