What causes high blood pressure and cholesterol?

Question 2

Respected doctor, my 53 year old mother experienced high blood pressure today at 150/105, with a previous reading of 170/120 accompanied by headaches and a mild fever on August 2nd. She was doing well until now. Our entire family showed COVID symptoms in early August, and I tested positive, but we have since recovered. I am concerned about why her blood pressure is still high nearly a month later. She is currently taking Telsite 40 mg after breakfast. A 2D echo done a year ago showed excellent heart health. Our family doctor has advised doubling her Telsite dose to one tablet in the morning and one after lunch. I am seeking a second, honest opinion regarding this advice. I have attached her latest blood report taken on the day she had high BP and severe headache. Thank you and God bless.

Question 3

Hi doctor, my weight is 107 kg and I am 32 years old. For the last few months, my BP has been higher than normal, around 124/92. Should I start regular medication? My thyroid, sugar, and LFT are normal. Which blood tests are needed?

How to reduce the blood cholestrol?

One must drink alcohol in moderation as it is one of the major reasons for unexplained high cholesterol along with unhealthy foods. Also, exercise for 5 days a week so that cholesterol levels are in check.
