Hi,
Cholesterol is one the body components which is synthesized by body and also get from food. To maintain cholesterol level one should follow balanced diet where fat should be restricted and fibre rich. As you have mentioned that you have diagnosed with high BP with high cholesterol level then you should follow medication with a healthy lifestyle. Include more vegetables, fruits in your diet which will help to control it and choice of cooking oil is also another factor.
Health Tips
Try to do exercise in regular basis, which will help to increase good cholesterol level. Please don't stop to take medicine without doctor's concern
