So I went to the doctor for a routine checkup because I hadn't been in awhile. I was having eye twitches and some light muscle spasms. I had my blood pressure taken and some blood work done. My blood pressure was 130/100. The doctor put me on metroprolol which is a beta blocker to lower my blood pressure. (Haven't yet taken) I had been eating a very terrible diet consisting of 5000+ Calories a day composed of all fast food. So I changed my diet and cut out fast food and tried to cut out processed garbage. Lowered my sodium intake to around 1500 Mg a day. I bought a BP monitor to use at home and keep track. Within a few days my BP dropped. I had several reading below 120/75 and as low as 115/65. On Occasion though my BP spikes all the to 160's/96+. So after two weeks I went into the doctors office for a follow up. That morning my bp was 120/72 at home. I brought my BP monitor to the office to test mine against theirs . Theirs read me at 160/90 and mine 156/95. There's a few thing that are really bad on my blood work. I basically need some advice and insight as to what could really cause these as well as supplement/Nutrition advice to get these numbers down. There seems to a lot of conflicting research on the subject.

So as you can see, I have very screwed up Lipids and I'm very defiecient in Vitamin D which has been linked to poor cholesterol and high blood pressure. I have had High Hemoglobin for several years now and will be going to see a hematologist. So now the doctor put me on Lipitor(understandable) and Metropolol. I changed my diet to low carb as from reading, this seems to be supported by the newest research.(correct me If I'm wrong) I'm looking at adding more Omega 3's in my diet and cutting back on Red Meat. I really hate the idea of Lipitor and beta blockers at 24 years old, especially going into a cut. So I would like to get my diet straight(For healthier Lipids) and I'm looking into support supplements to help with heart health, for when I come off of the drugs
The Supplements I'm looking into for support are:
[h=2]Anteus Labs Talos
Coenzyme Q10=Heart Health especially if I'm taking Lipitor
Astillbin=Blood Pressure[/h]Trans-Resveratrol=Antioxidant, possible lowering Hemoglobin, possible Cholesterol support
[FONT=Veranda, Arial]Salicylic acid= Reduces Risk for clots. High Hemoglobin means I likely have thick blood.[/FONT]
[FONT=Veranda, Arial]B9,B6, and B12= More heart Health[/FONT]
[FONT=Veranda, Arial]Astaxanthin= Antioxidant+possible Cholesterol support[/FONT]
[FONT=Veranda, Arial]SamE= Liver + antioxidant[/FONT]
[FONT=Veranda, Arial]Blackrice=extract acts as a natural statin
[/FONT]Iforce Heart Help
Orange Triad
Multi+Joint
Now Super Omega EPA
Omega 3s, Heart health/Reduced inflamation
Others(Possibly):
Curcumin
TMG
NAC
RLA
L-Taurine
Creatine
Protein Powder.
