Well also you have too many risk factors that need to be corrected and followed up. High cholesterol leads to ischemic heart disease and atherosclerosis. High uncontrolled blood pressure also aggravates heart failure and that is a big concern. I suggest my patients the following prescribe some anti-failure Chat Doctor.  Statins for hypercholesterolemia. The information provided by you is not sufficient to provide a good opinion.
