Hi,

For faster healing, you need to rest it and take calcium, vitamin D supplements, and proper diet. For BP, if you are already on it for 2 weeks then dose can be doubled to 16 depending upon the BP values or tab Amlodipine can be added. Also have low salt diet and regular exercises after fracture heals. Get one lipid profile and sugars tested. Healthy diet and avoiding smoking and alcohol if any will be of help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
