I'm Gajendra, and I'm 30. Lately, I've been having trouble with high blood pressure and a fast pulse. What should I do about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For high blood pressure and elevated pulse, you can start by making lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and managing stress. Additionally, you can take medication to help control your blood pressure. I recommend taking "Losartan" at a starting dosage of 50mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper monitoring and adjustment of your treatment plan.

I'm dealing with high cholesterol, and my LDL is 220. I dont really have any physical issues, but I do snore quite a bit. I avoid smoking and drinking, so that's not a factor. Do you think I should see a cardiologist or just a general physician for this cholesterol issue? Also, is medication necessary for my LDL level, or can I simply make some changes to my diet?
For managing high cholesterol, including an LDL level of 220 mgdL, it's advisable to consult a cardiologist, given the significant elevation and the associated cardiovascular risks. A cardiologist can provide a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan. Whether you require medication or can manage your cholesterol through lifestyle changes depends on your overall risk profile, including age, family history, and any other health conditions. Typically, an LDL level of 220 mgdL would warrant the use of statin medications in addition to adopting heart-healthy dietary changes, such as reducing saturated and trans fats, increasing fiber intake, and incorporating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains into your diet.
