thank you for your question! Regarding your blood pressure values they confirm hypertensio grade I; in addition you have another risk factor for coronary disease which is hypercholesterolemia; all this backgroung rates you to the moderate risk for coronary disease in the future (according to recent medical guidelines); so you need to be more careful; you have to treat your high blood pressure and also high blood lipid profile; start one representative from any classes of antihypertensive drugs such as Amlodipine 5 mg/day or ramipril 2.5 mg/day and check your BP frequently; turn your diet to a healthy one (I recomend you Mediterranean diet) and see the results for about 3 months; if high lipid profile persists then you should take medication: one of the statins class.
Hope to have been helpful. Greetings from Dr.Iliri
