I'm suffering from this tight headache and dizziness for the past three weeks, I went to the hospital but I was told my cholesterol and BP was high, so they put me on statins and Amlodipine to reduce the BP and high cholesterol but my headache is getting worse with other muscles and chest pain finding it difficult to breath and sleep. What should I do?

Cholesterol below 300 is healthy, you should probably stop the statin. BP medicines are required if your BP is always high. Measure BP only once every month on fixed date after resting for ten minutes, start medicines if two recordings are above 160, or if all are above 140 If you want good health, improve your diet.
