Hi,

Thank you for your query.

At the age of 27 years your blood pressure is certainly high and I hope you are on medication for it. The report of cholesterol needs to checked as 6.6 does not appear to be appropriate. Seeing your history you need to have a complete cardiac evaluation to know the condition of your heart. Hence discuss with your GP and get a complete cardiac check up done.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing you all the best.

Regards,
