Hi,
Looking at the history and the present complaints, I would like to advise you as following:

Mindfulness is helpful to relieve stress.

Hypothyroidism is an hormonal abnormality and requires thyroid hormone treatment.

High cholesterol is due to multiple factors and one of them is your diet.

If blood pressure is due to stress, it might help.

However, I strongly advise you to take medication and make sure all of them are under control.

Reducing stress reduces the risk of coronary artery disease and you should so mindfulness training.
For training, you can find a trainer online or offline.

Any further queries, happy to help again.
