Question

Are high blood pressure and high cholesterol linked?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Yes, they are linked. Cholesterol plaque and calcium cause your arteries to become hard and narrow. This results in the heart pumping blood much harder than usual.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a RHEUMATOID FACTOR (RA) - LATEX AGGLUTINATION Test or Take a POTASSIUM - SERUM / PLASMA Test
