I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Blood pressure reading of 150/100 mm Hg in a 28 year old person is high & it would require blood pressure lowering medicine along with some dietary & lifestyle modifications. You should decrease salt intake in food. Daily Light exercise like walking swimming etc is recommended. Your LDL cholesterol level of 182 is very high & it along with hypertension can be very dangerous & could make you prone to Coronary heart disease. Cholesterol lowering drugs is recommended. Fats containing trans fatty acids should be completely stopped. Cholesterol lowering medicines are also neccesary. As per tests, if you have been diagnosed as some abnormality in Echo test. You would be suggested angiography to rule-out any blockage in coronary arteries.
Refer to your cardiologist Hope this information helps
