Suggest Treatment For Presence Of Blood In Stool And High BP
Question: I had visited a doctor for another problem (blood going with stool) and at that time my doctor said my blood pressure is high (160) . He gave me various tests like lipid profile, urine, ecg and it all came out Normal although I seem to have a high cholesterol level.
S Choltesterol (total) 202 mg/dL
S HDL Choltesterol 36 mg/dL
S. LDL Cholesterol 127 mg/dL
S Triglyceride 191 mg/dL
T cholesterol-HDL Rario 5.61
Although two days later I measured the pressure again and it was around 140.
Now I am trying to add some exercise to my daily routine and trying to change my food habbit. Now when I do exercise my heart starts beating very first. Specially when I am doing skipping (im doing 100 at a go) it starts beating really fast and i also feel pain in my legs. Now is this okay or should I change it? Is there anyway to fix my body where I can do more exercise while my heart supporting it?

Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would like to explain that you are on the right way to improve your coronary risk factors profile.
I strongly encourage you to keep going on your continuous efforts for controlling your body weight, lowering blood cholesterol, increasing your daily physical activity, controlling frequently your blood pressure values, avoiding close smoking contacts, and following a healthy diet.
(1) Regarding lipid lowering efforts, I would explain that your actual blood lipid profile isn’t favorable.You need to lower your LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) possibly to less than 80 – 100 mg/dl, increase HDL cholesterol (good one) at least 45 – 50 mg/dl, and improving T cholesterol-HDL Ratio to less than 3.5.
This can be achieved by following a healthy diet poor on fatty, spicy foods, and high-fibre veggies (potatoes, peas and other legumes, Brussels sprouts, parsnips, spinach, etc).
I would recommend you an effective natural diet such as Mediterranean diet. It has been shown quite effective to reduce cholesterol and maintains a balanced body weight.
(2) Physical activity should be performed in an gradually escalating scheduled program. Do not be afraid of your fast heart rate while exercising, as it is a normal reaction. Facing your age, the predicted maximal theoretical heart rate is around 190 bpm. So don’t be afraid of sinus tachycardia.
(3) Regarding your blood pressure, I recommend closely monitoring your BP for a couple of days (several times daily), write them down and consult with your attending physician about the real BP trends and how to optimally manage high blood pressure (if persistent high BP values appear, a temporary drug therapy may be judged a rationale option).
(4) After a period of around three months a review of your clinical conditions (blood lipid profile, body weight, coupled with frequently measured BP values) should be done, to better judge on the ongoing preventive strategy.
Hope to have been helpful to you!
If you have further uncertainties, feel free to ask!
Greetings! Dr. Iliri

I read online that omega 3 fatty acid is good for health and it also helps lowering cholesterol down. Is this true? If it is then is it okay if I take a 60 pil omega 3 fatty acid bottle and take 1 pil everyday? I know that fish like salmon are good with natural omega 3 fatty acid but in my countries those fish are rare.
Brief Answer:
Omega 3 fatty acids are important components of a healthy diet.
Detailed Answer:
Hi again!
You are right about omega 3 fatty acids! Both Omega 3 pills and natural salmon fish are reasonable options.
Also sardine fish is rich on omega 3 fatty acids.
Mediterranean diet, I recommended you above is rich in sea foods and polyunsaturated fatty acids (comprising omega 3).
So, it depends on your preferences choosing which fits better!
