Why can't high blood pressure be cured?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Are high blood pressure and high cholesterol linked?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My blood pressure is high (160/110 mmHg). I regularly experience headaches that make me feel weak, along with dizziness, fever, cough, and cold. I consulted my doctor and have started BP medication and undergone some blood tests. I would like someone to help me understand my test report in detail. Can I get assistance here?
