I'm 22 years old and a medical student with a little sedentary lifestyle and bmi of 27 and was diagnosed with essential hypertension a month ago, my readings were 160/98 mm hg with the heart rate of 145 at that time (i can assure I was quite anxious while measurement.) echocardiography revealed mild rvoto and trivial tr which the cardiologist told me of being congenital and not life-threatening. Ecg revealed sinus tachycardia. Other reports ct angiography, usg abdomen, chest x-ray and all blood reports namely were normal, except ldl was borderline. I was on medication for a month with nebykare am (nebivolol and amlodipine) and clavilip (clopidogrel and atorvastatin). I monitored the bp at home daily and it was near normal every time. On follow-up, I was told that essential hypertension meds are lifelong which I don't intend to follow, although I know that lifestyle modifications may help me discontinue the medication gradually. I have no issues continuing nebycare am, but clavilip is causing me worry because I don't wanna take clopidogrel and atorvastatin if risks of side effects outweigh benefits. Can I please know your opinion about it, sir? Ps: my total cholesterol: 190 mg/dl, hdl: 58 mg/dl, ldl: 139 mg/dl. And my hb: 16.8 g/dl, platelet count: 392000/dl.
