Cholesterol contributes to hypertension (high blood pressure) when it deposits itself in veins and arteries. Normally, your body is able to dilate blood vessels if your blood pressure rises in order to bring it back to a stable level. However, if cholesterol deposits itself in your arteries, they lose a large amount of their elasticity, leading to hypertension.

If you have hypertension which is being treated and high cholesterol which is not Would it be better to treat the cholesterol instead in the hope that the hypertension reduces as a consequence?
Not necessarily because the hypertension may not be the result of the high cholesterol. It certainly could be, but there are many other factors that could be as well. Hypertension also presents the most immediate risk, in that a person is at constant risk of having an event (heart attack, stroke, ect...) particularly during certain activities or times of the day. So removing or reducing pharmaceutical treatment could be fatal. On the other hand, high cholesterol buildup (plaque) in arteries, particularly those that feed blood to the heart, is a very serious longer term problem and the cause of many heart attacks. So if you had to choose one to treat, I say treat the hypertension because reducing total cholesterol and/or the proportion and makeup may not bring blood pressure to a safe normal level. Essentially the goal of the physician is to keep people alive and the hypertension presents the most immediate risk.
