Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician i completely understand your health concerns.
What is his age? For how long he is suffering from it? Any other associated problem? like diabetes?
what is his BP reading ? IS he is taking any drug for it?
The best precautions are to stick to your medications and avoid salt in your food. BCdo regular exercise.
If he develop fainting , he need to be examined by a doctor for proper workup since fainting attack in hypertensive patients should not be taken lightly..
he need to get his RBS ECG ECHO LIPID PROFILE along with FBC for proper workup.
Meanwhile stay calm and continue with your medications and avoid salt intake and meet your doctor
Get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
