With medicine, goal of BP should be atleast 140/90 or below
Report shows slightly elevated total cholesterol,lower HDL ,and elevated triglycerides.
Assuming the doctor who treats him will determine the risk factors and may put him on lipid lowering medicine after performing echo and reading his lipid results.
Headache in an hypertensive varies.Some people complains of headache at slightest elevation of the BP, where's others ,they remain asymptomatic even with very high BP
