High blood pressure and high cholesterol
I am on high bp medications (Telday 40), my lipid test came out high - total chol - 246. 7, triglycerides - 160.4, HDL - 61.6, LDL - 153, VLDL 32.
I am trying high fibre, low fat diet to reduce cholesterol but these days I feel tired with confusion, fainting feeling sometimes and some sort of pressure on back of the head. I am also under severe stress, I'm unable to sleep. I feel high bp tabs is lowering my bp too much. I'm confused what to do... My doctor suggested me to reduce cholesterol via diet and exercise.
Is this all happening due to stress and lack of sleep? ECG, Echo, thyroid, sugar and kidney tests came out normal.
