Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads.
Senior perspective on cardiovascular risk: I'm 62 years old and started this journey skeptically. My cardiologist recommended it after years of failed interventions.
10 months later: down 45 lbs, more mobile, pain reduced, medications simplified. My quality of life has improved dramatically. I wish this existed 20 years ago.
To other older adults hesitating: the SELECT trial proved benefit in our age group. You deserve to feel good in your body regardless of age.

This answered a question I did not know how to ask. Taking it to my next appointment.

Positive "side effect" of cardiovascular risk: my blood pressure dropped so much that I'm now off losartan entirely! My cardiologist is thrilled.
If you're on BP meds and losing weight on a GLP-1, monitor your BP at home regularly. Hypotension symptoms (dizziness, lightheadedness when standing) mean your BP meds may need reduction. Don't wait for your next scheduled appointment — call your doctor.

Second this. The detail I would add is minor and it is already implied above.
Moderator note: good thread. Keeping it here rather than moving it, because the question is general enough to be useful. Report rather than reply if it drifts again.
