Last week I went for a full Blood check up in Pathlab and when the results came back three days ago, I had sleepless nights.  

Firstly, high Cholesterol of 7.4, much higher than my previous years of 6-6.5... *too much yummy unhealthy food is the cause, no doubt*

Secondly, my microalbumin creatinine aka ACR (Albumin creatinine ratio) is superbly high.  Whatever is microalbumin?  I googled it and found it to be related to protein in the urine.  Not many people will go for this test.  Normal blood test does not include this ACR, but since my package is inclusive, I got to learn a new term and this one worries me a lot. 

The Pathlab lady advised me to seek the doctor for further treatment.  I did exactly that, I went to see a Nephrologist, kidney specialist in other words.  First thing, I was told to go for a scan in the private hospital, after a wait of two hours, the report was sent to the doctor.  

Thank God, nothing is wrong with my kidneys, they look normal, no enlargement, bladder also looks OK, according to the report.  Only thing is why my ACR is so high, I asked the doc.  He said it Might be due to my cholesterol and high blood pressure that lead to the micro thing issue.  Oh, this is something new to him.  

OK, how high is my blood pressure?  The night before I went to see the doctor, it has a reading of 164/100!!  First time in history, normal days I was perfectly normal, highest is around 117/73 more or less.... I thought I was going to get a stroke!

On the day I saw the doctor, he took three readings and the readings were sky high, 160/100 is the average, that is very shocking to me.  Oh dear, time to do something about it.... doctor's orders....

Today I started to monitor myself, started in the morning till now, the reading is around 140/86 more or less.  I guess something is really wrong in my body.... I have fallen into this category, Hypertension lady with high cholesterol.... I started on these meds prescribed by the doctor.....
