Also looking for the number of people in the US with hypertension that also have both diabetes and high cholesterol.

These are the best stats that I could find after a search on the web:
Approximately 50 per cent of people with diabetes have high blood pressure and approximately eighteen million Americans have diabetes. So, that said, approximately 9 million have diabetes and hypertension.

Since diabetes, presently, has about 18,000,000 Americans in its clutches, that’s 6.3% of the US population or about one in every 16 people are diabetic. Hypertension affects about 50 million Americans–one in four adults.
In adults, total cholesterol levels of 240 mg/dL or higher are considered high risk. Levels from 200 to 239 mg/dL are considered borderline-high risk. 107 million, or 1 in 5 adults, has cholesterol levels above 200 mg/dL

Also why do you get low blood pressure and how can you get high blood pressure. Seriously, I’m so tired of getting blackouts whenever I stand up, any advice?

One of the reasons you may be having blackouts when you stand is a matter of gravity. Your heart has to suddenly pump blood uphill. The sudden extra pressure required causes a momentary decrease in blood flow to the brain. If you are not careful you may be picking yourself up off the floor later. A lower blood pressure may be more beneficial for you and your internal organs. The heart also has to work less to supply adequate amount of blood. Athletes normally have a lower blood pressure. Higher blood pressure can be can lead to heart attack or stroke. If you are constantly having dizzy spells or near fainting when you suddenly stand up, there may be something more serious going on. Check with your doctor for a checkup. Rather safe than sorry. Here is a web page that may give some information. Hope this helps.

I have untreated high blood pressure (usually around 144/99). I am taking my blood pressure each day to monitor the situation and establish what level I am at. I know I need to go on medication, but I want a medication that will have few side effects. I am particularly concerned about sexual side effects and I would still like to be able to have a couple drinks now and again.

Hi, found this pdf – hope it helps http://medind.nic.in/jac/t01/i3/jact01i3p140.pdf

I’ve been feeling a little weak lately, and yesterday while tanning in the sun, i got up for a drink of water and fainted.

my friend B said it was probably low sugar
my friend G said it was probably low blood pressure

B told me to drink some coke
G told me to have a bit of salt

I ended up doing both since i had no idea what to do.
Im going to the doctor next week, but would grateful if someone could give me an insight of what might be wrong.

thanks!

Low blood pressure is when the amount of blood your heart pumps is too low. Low blood sugar is when the amount of sugar in your blood is too low. If you hadn’t eaten in awhile it could be low blood sugar, but you may have been dehydrated from laying out in the sun too.
