What medications and diet can lower high LDL and blood pressure?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am an MBBS graduate doing my junior residency. I have had a high blood pressure of 150/100 mm Hg and a heart rate of 90 to 100 beats/minute for the past four years. I have been taking tablet Cilnidipine 10 mg, tablet Telmisartan 40 mg, andtablet Metoprolol XL 50 mg once daily for the past four days. My blood pressure was 130/90 mm Hg, my heart rate was 75 to 120 beats/minute in the morning, and my blood pressure was reduced to 115/80 mmHg. I did CBC, FBS, HbA1c, lipid profile, TSH, and kidney function tests. My fasting blood sugar level is 110 mg/dL, LDL level is 163 mg/dL, total cholesterol level is 229 mg/dL, non-HDL is 185 mg/dL, and triglyceride is normal. I have dizziness and feel uncomfortable. Should I start the tablet Rosuvastatin 10 mg?

Please help.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your blood pressure measurements are not really bad. I advise you to only measure in the morning after waking up. Start exercising and become fit. I suggest tablet Rosuvastatin 10 mg daily for two weeks.

I hope this helps.

Please revert so I can assist you further.

Thank you.
