What Is The Treatment For Hypertension And Cholesterol?

I am 73 yrs old, male, 170 cm tall and 74kg. I was diagnosed of hypertension around 140/90mmHg and slightly elevated cholesterol nearly a decade ago, and have been taking treatment throughout since then. About an year ago the doctor was changed and the medication changed to 50mg Covance & 40mg Proponalol (taken morn and a'noon) and at night Amlong 5mg, Astrix 75mg & Atolip 10mg. My cholesterol is OK now but FBS averages 118 mg/dL. Since 2 months I have been having slight swelling of feet with numbness and about a week ago an urtecarial reaction on my arms and legs (between waist and knee)have developed. My exercise regime is minimal and spend much time at the computer. I need to get rid of the u'carial reaction, the swelling and numbness of the feet. Thank you.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, auto immune disorder needs to be ruled out first, else the given symptoms may not be due to medicines or hypertension, if it is not the diabetic then better to rule out this because diabetes may be the cause of allergic symptoms, condition can be managed with Tab Livocetirizine 10 mg three times in day and hope this information helps.
