Hello!
Welcome to - Ask a Doctor - service!
I reviewed your uploaded blood lipid profile result and would like to explain that there is mild hyperlipidemia.
It could be managed by diet and lifestyle modifications, body weight control and increased physical activity.
But, considering you have multiple cardiovascular risk factors like hypertension, and glucose metabolism abnormality, it would be wise to start on a statin in association with the above mentioned measures.
Mediterranean diet is highly recommended.
Close blood pressure monitoring and control is beneficial.
You should check HbA1c every 3 months.
Hope to have been helpful!
Let me know in case of any further questions.
Kind regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka

Regarding high blood pressure medications, it would be necessary to review your BP values at least for a week to optimize the therapy. Considering you have multiple cardiovascular risk factors it is required to avoid high blood pressure values (no higher than 125/80 mmHg.
I remain at your disposal for a review of BP values and further discussions.
Greetings,
Dr. Iliri
Please tell me how I should be using these medications for best-desired coverage.

Dear XXXXXXX
I recommend taking Losartan HCTZ in the morning, amlodipine at lunch and bystolik in the evening.

Hope you will find this information helpful!

Dr. Iliri
