Hi,
If it is really 145 then cholesterol lowering drug is needed along with lifestyle changes (BP regular checks, eating habits, maintenance of BMI, ECG, blood sugar). Only after checking your ECG, if you have no side effects like dizziness, cough or hypotension, you may continue the same and follow up.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
