Answers:
If his blood pressure is that high medication is the only immediate solution!. He needs to be seen in the ER, after that, a follow up with his regular Dr will guide him in continuing medication, diet, exercise, stress reduction, etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
High blood pressure (hypertension) is when the diastolic is above 90!. His diastolic is 120 so this is hypertension!. High blood pressure can cause cardiac failure and stroke!. The ACE (angiotensinogen converting enzyme) in the body tries to adjust the blood pressure by vasoconstriction for low blood pressure (hypotension) or vasodilation for hight blood pressure (hypertension) to bring it back to normal!. If it doesn't work then it just keeps on going around trying to do it and getting nowhere!. Excess weight and salt and not exercising makes it worse!. But it's too late for that!. He needs to see a Doctor quickly about this!. I will say again he needs to see a Doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Firstly you can make sure your father doesn't stand too sudden after he has been sitting!. This can create an inbalance in posture from rocketting his Blood Pressure even more higher!.
Drink plenty of water, Deep breathing helps, slow movements, call an ambulance if the pressure has increased within an hour of noticing the rate!.
Be carefull that your father doesn't get too upset and make sure he remains calm in situations so he can alter his Blood Pressure naturally!.
If he takes medication ie: betaloc (for heart palpitations) etc he may need to seek medical attention just to be sure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your fathers BP is in what we consider "stroke zone" and needs to be seen in the ER tonight!. It could be that he has lived with this BP every day, but that does not change the fact that this is way to high and would not be allowed to leave a medical facility until it came down a great deal!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
