I'm really concerned about the pain I've been having in my leg muscles for the past couple of years. My blood pressure keeps fluctuating between 160110 and 12586, but I really want to avoid taking any meds for it because I think I can change my lifestyle to control it. Also, my vitamin D level is at 8.0, and I noticed my cholesterol total is 218, with LDL at 157. What steps should I take to address these issues and improve my overall health?
