Blood pressure no. Cholesterol can be done for free or small fee at many local health screenings done in the community.
Not that they can't happen to everyone, but I have had numerous patients in their 40's-50's who don't go to the doctor, have undiagnosed high BP or cholesterol and throw a massive clot or have a massive stroke. They are ****ed for life after that. Had another patient prescribed high BP meds. Decided to stop taking them cold turkey...massive stroke within a few months. Medicine does prolong your life for many medical issues.
