I have no idea and would appreciate some help. Thank you

Natalie asked:
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.

Artemis asked:
It seems that people who have high blood pressure often have high cholesterol as well. Is there any correlation between the two? Do they go hand in hand?

The pathophysiology diagram should contain the possible causes and possible effects of hypertension. Thank you!

YCC asked:
My husband has high blood pressure and been prescribed Crestor Micardis. But, due to high costs, we are unable to afford his medications. What are YOUR food suggestions? Everyone always say diet and exercise and we know that. My husband does not have a problem with his weight. He’s 38 years old, 165lbs., 5’7 tall. He’s still muscular (somewhat) due to years of body building. His siblings (all under 45 years old) parents are all under medication for high blood pressure high cholesterol.

How soon would you reduce blood pressure with exercise? How long before you begin to see a change?

JustKate asked:
If I exercised for at least one hour on a treadmill a day, 7 days a week, how long before I’d notice a drop in blood pressure? Would it begin to take effect in under 6 months or no? I don’t know if I’m phrasing this correctly, but I just would basically like to find out how long it would take for my blood pressure to start dropping if I were to adopt a healthier lifestyle and exercise (because I’m fairly sedentary due to my job). Thanks. (I’m looking for expert advice or advice from people who have lowered their blood pressure or know of someone who has. My goal is to lower my blood pressure and by extension my resting heart rate.)
I’m not on medication. I used to have okay blood pressure, then through a series of traumatic events, I began eating a lot. I was severely depressed and I gained like 70 lbs. Horrible I know, but I was on medication depressed and I was practically suicidal. I’m better now and I want to work on myself, and be healthy and live a nice long life, but I don’t want to be on medication for blood pressure or cholesterol so I want to lose the weight I’ve amassed. Is it possible or unlikely that if I lose the weight I’ve gained, and maybe a little more, through diet and exercise (focusing on whole grains/fiber, etc..) that I could return to a healthy blood pressure number? Or is it impossible to lose weight and exercise and eat a healthy diet to lower blood pressure? I would really rather avoid medication if it’s at all possible because I feel like if it’s through my own sedentary lifestyle and eating habits that I got this way, I would rather fix the problem than put a bandaid on it.
