Question 1

Is high cholesterol a guarantee of high blood pressure?

Question 2

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.

Question 3
