Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a BP of 160/100 today. But it has averaged around 130-150/90-100 over the last one year. I recently did my cholestrol check and have realised that its way over the limit. I don t have the readings with me but I can assure you that I failed miserably that whole sheet for Lipid analysis/ratios. One reading was 302 when it was supposed to be under 150. Can I bring all these down to normal levels by just lifestyle changes or do I need to start medication?
For these values of your blood pressure, you should consider starting medications. As for the cholesterol, you should try a lifestyle change, that is better for high blood pressure too.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Anila Skenderi, General & Family Physician
