Hello and thank you for using HCM.I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion.

You should know that we talk about hypertension if we have mean value that exceeds 140 / 90mmHg.A person might have high value during emotional and physical strees so its mandatory to judge on mean values.

Usaly hypertension does not give any symtoms but left untreated he slowly modifies heart muscle. During a hypertensive crisis a person might experience headaches,blurredvision,dizziness,tachycardia ect

We recommend to a person to rise up the legs during low blood pressure not high bllod preasure becouse rising tje legs increases venous return and helps to rise low blood pressure.
In your husband case it might be a sporadic or emotional high value.

Even though, as we have this high value, if I was the treating doctor I will recommend some examination like an electrocardiogram, a cardiac echo to evaluate heart function and walls, a full blood analyze to chek renal function, and the most important one holter blood pressure monitoring to evaluate values during day and night.

After all this we can better judge if we have hypertension and how to treat it.

Hope I was helpfull.
Best regards,Dr.Ervina.
