Dear Lybrateuser, -Control your bp & cholesterol with diet & regular exercise, also proper sleep & keeping stress to the minimum - have a salt restricted diet, avoid fried, processed & junk foods, also pickles, papads & salty snacks, also restrict tea, coffee to 1-2 cups per day - have more of fibre containing foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains instead of refined ones, legumes, sprouts, daily a handful of mixed unsalted nuts, heart healthy fats as in fish such as salmon, tuna, mackeral, nuts, olive, canola or sunflower oil for cooking, avocados, flax & chia seeds - do regular exercise like brisk walking, jogging or cycling daily for 20-30 min - sleep well for at least 7-8 hrs daily - destress by listening to light music, reading or by doing yoga, meditation & deep breathing for 10-15 min daily - the above measures will help lower your bp as well as cholesterol along with the medicines.

Dear user
You don't have HBP very technically to treat with drugs But as said you do nights shift then ensure sound sleep during day time Hopefully your questions answered.
