Suggest Treatment For Slightly High Cholesterol And Vitamin D Defiency

Take Telsar / continue Life style changes
Detailed Answer:
Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The best option is to take the drug / and to start NOW
Telmisartan is ideal – no side effects as you suspect.
Beta-blockers are known for sexual side effects.
You are in good hands… follow up

You need to take vitamin D – large doses for 4 to 6 weeks and then maintenance dose& follow up

There are subdivisions of cholesterol – LDL, HDL, non-HDL and so on.
HDL is good cholesterol – higher, the better.
LDL is bad cholesterol – lower, the better. .. Your level is high (130) / Aim for 70 because of family history of pressure and your own borderline.
In the absence of any other risk factor 100 is ideal for LDL-C. In the presence of ischemia, 70 should be the aim.
Keep your weight to normal / even a little less
Quit smoking, if you are a smoker
Do regular EXERCISE – say walking or jogging - 30 minutes a day / at least 5 days in a week. Isometric exercise (like bull worker) is bad.
Healthy FOOD is a must. Avoid saturated fats – coconut oil, palm oil, butter, ghee, full cream milk...Avoid junk foods in particular – French fries have palm oil / Pizza has cheese / XXXXXXX sweets are made in ghee.../ Change to Poly-un-saturated oil – like sun flower oil. / Include Mono-un-saturated oil – Olive oil.
Repeat the test in 6 weeks.
Cholesterol can still be high, in spite of diet and exercise – you need drugs; because it is also manufactured in the liver – and that is determined by heredity. Statin is the first choice. Some start it straight away – even with normal levels, even without problems (Primary Prophylaxis)
_______________________________________________________________
Lab report shows urinary infection – apparently asymptomatic.
Repeat it - a clean void midstream sample / have urine culture and ultrasound / and get treated depending on the result

Take care
Good luck
