Welcome to HCM. Thanks for posting your query. I understand your concerns.
Yes your father's blood pressure is under control and it is normal also. Tell him to continue they antihypertensive drugs as usual. He should not stop the drug suddenly without your treating doctor consent.
Don't start or stop the drug with out doctor advice.
Hope this helps you. Thank you
