Yes Deepak it is almost like a vicious circle... High cholesterol lodges in arteries and makes them less flexible and that causes high bp... High bp further injuries the arterial walls and increases deposition of cholesterol.. The best way to treat it is by homoeopathic treatment proper.

They are both co-related High BP can lead to high cholesterol and high cholesterol can be one of the reasons for high BP too. But there are many other factors as well which can contribute to both high BP and high cholestrol too.
