Hello,
Blood pressure is not a disease. IT can be controlled easily with diet and exercise but do not stop the medication. IF it becomes low, you may give him lemon juice or tea. It will help him to give him energy. Ask him to drink lots of water and liquids.
thanks

Hi,Deepak,thanks for query.In aged patients to control blood pressure is a tricky issue and it needs to done in patients like your father to avoid further problem.Please keep a record of frequent blood pressure recordings and talk to your doctor about this.some variation in the absence of complaints at times is acceptable.

Do not stop the BP medications on your own, consult a good physician. The dose of his BP medicines needs to be adjusted.
