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!

      An isolated problem that on its own in this case you smoke are nonsmoker not likely to your risk factors which might include lowering your low blood pressure in this case you smoke are overweight and take no exercise then.
      An elevated blood pressure and take care as always.
