What Causes Weight Loss While Having High Diastolic Pressure Reading?

Dear sir, My father has high diastolic pressure to the tune of 100, measured 6-7 months ago. He took medicines for a few months and has been losing weight since then. He consumes alcohol on a regular basis and smokes as well. What should we do to encourage him to see a doctor? What should be our next step? He hasn t seen any specialist as per my knowledge. Thanks!
