How Can Blood Pressure Be Lowered?
My bp is 127/88 and I am taking Simvastatin 20MG tab. I have been walking/jogging/running about 3 times a week. My diet is mostly fruit and vegtables with a little lean meats. I started in June of last year and my BP is still the same. I do have a chlorestoral problem also at 260 LDL.

Hi,
Welcome.
This is Dr Sameer.
Your bp is absolutely normal & you don't have to worry about it. Lower bp(diastolic bp) of 88 is on the higher side. For I'll recommend you to decrease salt intake & do regular exercise.
Your cholesterol is pretty bad with LDL being so high. Continue taking Simvastatin for it. Also decrease the fat intake & again regular exercise is advised.
Thanks
