Cardiovascular Issues

How common is the development of cardiovascular issues as a result of working in high finance? I am in my mid 30d and have treated high bp and slightly elevated cholesterol. Biggest challenge for me is consistent exercise. Is this normal? Not quite at the level of severity requiring a career change, but I do wonder if it ratchets up a bit more perhaps I should.

Sitting at a desk for 12 hours a day and constant stress are bad for you, full stop. You have to find a way to focus on your health.
