I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure levels. Do you think it's at a point where I should see a doctor, or are there steps I can take on my own to bring it down? I've also been having some issues with drinking. Would that be affecting my BP too?

I'm a 40-year-old guy and I've been taking tablets since 2015. Originally, I was on Stamlo 5, but recently my blood pressure was consistently high around 140110 to 140100, even with the Stamlo 5. The doctor switched my medication to Envas 10 and Hydrazide 12.5, and now my blood pressure is under control. I'm just a bit worried about any side effects these might have. Could you give me some advice?

Question

I'm really concerned about my cholesterol levels. I had really high LDL cholesterol at 293, but after taking medications like Rosuvastatin, changing my diet, and exercising more, my bad cholesterol has apparently gone down to normal. I'm wondering though, since high bad cholesterol is known for causing blockages in arteries, does it mean I'm in the clear now that my levels are normal? Or should I still be worried about any existing blockages?
