Brief Answer:
It is not critical
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
It is not critical. Don't worry. It is already good, that your blood pressure decreased from 169/120 to 141/93. Your dizziness and nausea can be caused from blood pressure fluctuations.
I could give you some more advises if you could tell the patient's usual blood pressure and heart rate, and if such fluctuations are common. Have the patient experienced high blood pressure before?
What is the patient's heart rate at the moment and does the patient take bystolic every day?
Take care

HR is now in the 80s. Was 96 when BP was 169/120
Brief Answer:
Welcome back
Detailed Answer:
After 169/120 mm Hg blood pressure with heart rate of 96 bpm, 141/93 with 80 bpm is a very good result. So don't worry. I would advise the patient to lie down and measure blood pressure in 2 hours.
