I'm a 46-year-old guy who's a bit on the heavier side. I've always been healthy, but lately, they've told me I've got hypertension. I'm not a fan of allopathic medicine because I'm worried about the long-term side effects. Do you have any natural treatment options for dealing with hypertension?

I've noticed some changes in my recent lab results, and I'm a bit worried. My triglycerides have gone up from 374 in December to 470 mgdl now. My HDL improved from 31 to 42 mgdl, but my LDL dropped from 153 to 78 mgdl and my VLDL jumped from 34 to 94 mgdl. I haven't taken any medicine, just changed my diet and stopped eating out. Should I see a cardiologist or just a regular physician?

I'm trying to understand more about my recent test results. It mentioned something like mild mitral stenosis with trivial regurgitation and that my left atrium is dilated. Plus, there's something about the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve being mildly thickened, and the mitral orifice measuring 2.22 square centimeters. They also noted trivial mitral regurgitation with Doppler. What does all this mean for my heart health? Should I be worried? Any advice on what steps I should take next would be really helpful.
