Are cholesterol and blood pressure related?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, they are linked. Cholesterol plaque and calcium cause your arteries to become hard and narrow. This results in the heart pumping blood much harder than usual.
Dr. Yusuf Suggests...
Take a PT INR Test (Prothrombin Time) Test or Take a Allergy Rhinitis/Asthma/Inhalant Maxi Panel Test

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.
