hey.
first of all,make a chart and monitor his BP for a week and then u will know the exact situation he is going through.
There are causes which r associated with high BP.
Go to ER and do an EKG of ur BF and see if there r any pathological changes.
If his BP is consistently high,then he should be on medications
Start from Beta blockers or ACE inhibitors.
thanks.
