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.

I have just been through a very stressful time in my life and all of a sudden my blood pressure has gone up to between 135 over 92 to 148 over 109 / I have checked it at different times over the past few days after having a nurse tell me it was to high durring a life insurance exam. Can stress do this?
