Do Hypertension, High Cholesterol And Sleep Apnea Cause Heart Attack Or Stroke?

Too early to worry as such. Has to predict with mathematical precision
Detailed Answer:
hi and thanks for the query
I understand how disturbing and challenging this could be. it is true his blood pressure and cholesterol levels are not within the normal limits. however they are also not very bad. with his age, I can safely think that a stroke or heart attack based on the parameters provided is not for any near future. it is important to know that the cardiovascular risk profile is bound to aggravate for sure in case nothing is done in this respect .
people support blood pressures and cholesterol levels differently. this means some people can tolerate higher blood pressures and cholesterol levels than others. to predict when exactly a stroke or a heart attack will occur is extremely difficult. however these events are more frequent after the age of 65 to 70 especially if they are left uncontrolled.
I think it's too early for you to give up in helping him. I trust that your continuous support and care can be of utmost help for him to change towards better health practices in the near future.
kind regards as I wish you the very best.
