hello,
There are two issues,
one is high bp for which the dose of Amlodipine should be increased to 5 mg once a day. If bp is still not controlled then can be made 7.5 then 10 mg once a day. Tab metzok has not very good antihypertensive effect.
For Cholesterol, you should be started on tab Rosuvastatin 10 mg bedtime, do you can discuss with your doctor, and get these medicine prescribed.
You should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly thrice a day for one week then once or twice a week. Blood pressure should be less than 140/90 mmhg. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity atleast 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity. Get your sugars tested once..
