Hell beahavan,
Yes, getting cured substantially reduces the risk of premature death for patients with Hep C but does not entirely eliminate it.
Patients with cirrhosis definitely need regular 6 monthly AFP and Ultrasound. For everyone else, routine checkups are about it.
Accepting that life is a terminal disease, and sexually transmitted at that the basis of good health is pretty simple. Don’t smoke, don’t be diabetic (or be well treated), don’t have high cholesterol (or be well treated) and don’t have high blood pressure (or be well treated). These 4 are the major causes of the heart attacks and strokes that carry 60%+ of us out of here.
With your blood pressure, it’s fine. 134/73 is not high and is not something requiring treatment. Over 160/90 is high and needs treatment.
Other useful things for health are staying fit and active, maintaining your social relationships, being in the healthy weight range, eating a good variety of fresh food, getting enough sleep, and not drinking too much (note that moderate drinkers live longer people who abstain)
