What do my recent blood test results mean if I have been taking the blood pressure medication Amlokind 5 for two years, and my latest numbers show a blood pressure of 130/90, high cholesterol and blood fats, and slightly elevated liver markers?
Your blood pressure of 130/90 is just slightly above the ideal target while on amlodipine (Amlokind). The mild elevation in liver markers and cholesterol is quite common and often related to how your body processes fats. These results are not cause for alarm, but they suggest we should focus on your overall cardiovascular wellness. I encourage you to share these with your doctor. Often, simple lifestyle adjustments, like a heart-healthy diet and regular exercise, can beautifully improve both your cholesterol and liver markers while helping bring your blood pressure into a perfect range.
