Hi,
Actually your father's blood pressure is not well controlled and there is a need to correct the medications. One of the options is to change medications, and another option is to increase doses of current medications.
You should see his physician and discuss possibilities to have better controlled blood pressure.
Hope I could help you
Wishing your father a good health
