Can high blood pressure and cholesterol cause pain all over my body?

Question posed by Natalie: Can high blood pressure and cholesterol cause pain all over my body?
I have high blood pressure and cholesterol in which I take medication for both. I experience constant pain all over my entire body espesially in my back and neck and it is all the time and have had this for the last few months the worse. I was not injured so I am wondering if those problems could cause pain or if it could be something else.

Answer by dutoitwessel
I you say you have pain in your back, make sure its not the kidneys. Do you drink alcohol often? It can lead to fermentation and blood pressure pills and stuff dont work well with that. Causes stifness of the body and pain in muscles. So check what you drink and eat.

Question posed by nanny: Does it always mean that if u have a normal blood pressure, u also have a normal cholesterol?
My husband has a 104/78 blood pressure but not sure if he has more bad cholesterol than good ones. He just wants to believe that as long as he has a normal blood pressure, it doesnt bother him at all

My chosen answer:

Answer by dreams613
Absolutely you can have high blood pressure w/out high cholesterol. I have high blood pressure and great cholesterol. As long as he takes the medication to lower it he should be fine, but make sure to get regular blood work and monitor the blood pressure.

With those two rascal problems working against you, I am very surprised your doctor did not give you a specific exercise regimen. I suggest you get the doctors view on improvement approaches.
Walking briskly one hour a day is usually excellent therapy. You can and will walk yourself into better health. You can lower the cholesterol and blood pressure numbers to normal values in many cases.

A question asked by Shawna m: How many strokes/Heart attacks happen in people with normal Cholesterol and blood pressure levels?

The best answer:

Answer by Michael M
Do a google search of “the cholesterol myths”.

Dr. Ravnskov , Dr. Kendrick and Dr. McCully will tell you the truth about cholesterol.

Please confront your doctor witht the info below.

To ckm1956:

There is absolutely NOTHING that I say that is incorrect about cholesterol. Ancel Keys outright lies started this whole thing.

They are only incorrect according to your limited beliefs and dogma.Try KNOWLEDGE instead of dogma for a change.

Again cholesterol is a REPAIR substance. It is only ASSOCIATED with CHD. It is NOT causal and has NEVER been shown to be causal.

There is a LARGE DIFFERENCE between ASSOCIATION and CAUSATION. YOU should KNOW that ckm1956. It’s one of the frist rules of science.

Susan Doss asked:


Mine has been running around 158/106 for the past few weeks and I’m already on blood pressure medication. I am concerned because I’ve been experiencing shortness of breath kinda like someone is sitting on my chest along with my heart racing. I’m only 31 but have high cholesterol as well. Heart disease runs in the family so I’m a little concerned. Any answers will help.

ss asked:


Im 27 yrs old and not over weight! Recently my dr diagnosis me with prehypertension I must admit before nthis my eating habits were poor but ever since that day I completely changed my diet and started exercising a little! I purchased a blood pressure monitor so I check mu bp several times aday jst to make sure it doesn’t get to high! I noticed that sometimes when i’m just sitting and I check my bp it becomes slightly elevated but for for the most part it doesn’t rise that often ( not that I knw of). My mom is hypertensive but i’m not claiming that on my life just because she has it! Any natural remedies that work? My cholesterol levels are fine!

Is it Possible to have high cholesterol without having hypertension?

June 20, 2010 By 2 Comments
Francisco R asked:


So yeah is it possible to have high cholesterol without suffering from hypertension? I ask it because hypothetically speaking your heart would have to work harder if you have veins clogged by cholesterol. If this is true if you have high cholesterol you will suffer from hypertension. Again this is just an hypothesis, im not sure and would like to know how this works. Any info is greatly appreciated! =[) THX!

Sandra E asked:


I was diagnosed only 2 weeks ago and given 12.5 mg/day of hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic) which didn’t work; my bp fluctuates between 100/70 to 149/107. I do not have any other health conditions except age 63, some overweight and a little high cholesterol.
