Suggest Treatment For High BP In Old Age

Blood pressure 188/105 and resting heart rate 56.
Man of 64 with high such readings over last number of days.
Concerned about low HR readings as well
What do you advise?
Is he on any medications?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these values that you have reported. I will advise that he get evaluated and managed appropriately for this high blood pressure. Is he on any medications right now? If yes, that may be the reason for the low HR. Please, send a list of his medications to me. However, a heart rate of 56 is within the normal range and deserves no specific attention unless there are some other symptoms.
In all, get him evaluated and correctly managed for this high blood pressure. If he is on any drugs, report them to me.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
