I've been checking my blood pressure over the past few days and my average reading is around 14090. When I checked it a second time, it was showing 13089. Is this something I should be concerned about? Can you give me some advice?

I'm really worried because my cholesterol numbers have recently changed quite a bit. In July 2019, my LDL was 175 and HDL was 45, so my doctor put me on Atormac 10 mg. After taking it for three months, by October 2019, my LDL went down to 100, but my HDL also dropped to 32. My doctor said not to worry, but I'm concerned about my HDL levels dropping so quickly. What should I do about this?

Regarding your decreased HDL levels in just three months, it is important to focus on lifestyle changes to improve your HDL levels. You can start by incorporating regular physical activity, such as aerobic exercise, into your routine. Additionally, you can include healthy fats in your diet, such as those found in avocados, nuts, and olive oil. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish like salmon, can also help raise HDL levels. In terms of medication, you can continue taking Atormac 10 mg as prescribed by your doctor to help lower your LDL levels. However, if you are concerned about your HDL levels, you may want to discuss with your doctor the possibility of switching to a different medication that can help improve HDL levels, such as fenofibrate. Remember to follow a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, to help improve your HDL levels along with medication
