Hi
I can understand your concern.
Incomplete data like age, gender, duration of the problem, any other symptoms such as headache, blurring of vision, chest pain, any associated medical illness like diabetes, & body weight not mentioned.
Yes, both the cholesterol and BP are not normal.

First of all I would advise you to visit the hospital immediately for the control of high BP.
You need proper evaluation like baseline ECG, routine blood tests, chest xray, etc.
As this is a hypertensive urgency, it has to be treated with intravenous medications like Sodium nitroprusside or Labetalol.

For the treatment of high cholesterol you need drugs like Statins to reduce their level.

Once your BP is controlled, you must have certain life style modifications like dietary restriction of salt, avoid smoking and alcohol, do regular exercise, reduce body weight if your obese, etc.

Hope this answers your query.
