I've been dealing with headaches last week that lasted for two days, and my BP was at 240160. I got an MRIMRA done, and luckily everything was normal. Started taking Cilacar 10mg once a day, and from the next day, my BP seemed under control. But today, it suddenly spiked to 180120 this evening. I can only get in to see a doctor tomorrow. Should I consider taking half of the Cilacar 10mg now to help lower it?

I'm a bit concerned because my LDL level is at 130.8. Is this something I should be worried about? What can I do to lower it? Do you think I need to start taking any medication?
LDL level of 130.8 mgdL is slightly above the optimal range. To decrease this level, you can make lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. If these measures are not enough, medication may be required. Medications like Atorvastatin (Lipitor) or Rosuvastatin (Crestor) can be prescribed to help lower LDL levels. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best treatment plan for you.
