Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, you should know that his actual blood pressure values are really high.
They could lead to possible stroke or heart attack.
That is why I would recommend consulting with his doctor as soon as possible and discussing the possibility of making some changes to his actual antihypertensive therapy (raise the doses or add another drug) in order to have a better control of his blood pressure.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing all the best,
Dr. Iliri
