High blood pressure

Hi , I had checked my blood pressure for a week at different timings. I must have taken 5-6 readings. My readings are terribly high. Readings were in the range 140-165 systolic And 90-110 diabolic. I am just 22 years old. I have never done smoking. I don't drink alcohol either. Just started beer 5 months back but that too only in company parties.(alcohol is very rare) I am vegetarian. I am not overweight. My height is 177 cms and weight is 72 kg. In fact for last 5 months I used to do brisk walking monday to Friday to stay fit. I have lot of family responsibilities on me and eventually I have stress. But I guess everyone have stress in their life.  I am not able to understand how high BP can happen to me, I am shocked. This problem is not heridatory. My questions are 1. Is it possible to cure high BP naturally? 2. How it will impact my career and life? I have ambition of higher studies.3. i have read common remedies on net. what else i can do to keep BP low.?

AST=39.6,ALT=38 AST/ALT ratio= 1.04. OK?

I had a blood test in February this year. My AST=39.6, ALT= 38, total protein= 8, albumin=4.8. The blood test I had in June 2019 revealed following figures AST= 39.8 , ALT= 36.7, TOTAL PROTEIN= 8.1, albumin= 4.86 or 4.9.  I have uploaded 1 merged photo of all tests related to liver profile of both 2019(upper portion of the image, age 23) and 2020(lower portion of the image, age 24), so that you can compare. I have full body blood test report too for both years, in case you want to check something else, I can upload pics. I have shown this year's reports to a nutritionist/dietician, she has advised me supplements for iron, vit D, B12 and biotin. Please tell whether the liver profile is fine. If not, what should I do? The things made me think are AST is above normal range according to the lab, Albumin is at the highest end of the normal range mentioned by the Lab, and AST/ALT ratio is more than 1. P.S.: I don't drink alcohol, in fact I've never drunk alcohol and I am a pure vegetarian.

Zoloft vs Rexipra which is better option

I was smoking weed and cigarettes for 3.5 years and I stopped it 1.5 years ago but relapsed cigarette after 8 months and relapsed weed since a month and I've been diagnosed with ADHD,OCD,PTSD,BPD by various psychiatrists over time so I believe I have them in various levels. I also got depression,thanatophobia,anxiety (severe sometimes) and panic attacks. I seen 7 docs and 5 therapist regarding all these and a doc who served as a Professor in London Prescribed me an SSRi called Zoloft 50mg (Sertraline) @Morning for 3 months course twice but I failed to complete course twice and I'm undergoing psychotherapy too now my therapist recommended medication so I seen another normal psychiatrist and he prescribed me with Hope 0.5mg (Clonazepam) and Rexipra 15mg (escitalopram) @night for 3 weeks and I started that course today after stopping weed. I'm confused which treatment to continue when I think of the fact that one doc is way better qualified than other. So please answer which way to choose

Bilirubin Level of 32 yr old is abnormal

Hi Doc, a question pls. I was thoroughly diagnosed from head to toe in July 2017 for a visa purpose (pls check the reports attached) and medical test was approved, despite the fact that the bilirubin Level was higher. When my gf got her hands on my report she noticed that the bilirubin Level was higher than normal TBIL-56.3, DBIL-15.5 and IBIL- 40.8 umol/L. I don’t drink neither smoke. No other symptoms like fatigue, pain, itching or yellow skin/eye etc i don't take any medication and i feel perfectly fine. I’m 32 yrs old Indian male 170cm 65kg. I deliberately shed off over 15kg in 6months in 2012 by training at the gym and i haven’t lost any weight ever since. Should be concerned or suspect that I'm in a bad shape? I'm currently teaching in China. If I were to go see a doctor for lever or blood test , I might end up risking my job. So I'm just terribly concerned. Please check my reports attached to my profile. Your reply would be heavenly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
