Surgical procedure can help. 
Detailed Answer:
Hi, 
Thanks for writing your query. 
After reading your post, I would like to advise that you should get your father examined by a surgeon. 
If medicines are not that effective, you should go for procedures like band and other surgical procedures. 
Medical management include calcium dobesulate twice daily.
You should note that surgical procedure will be done only when his blood pressure is under control. 
Avoid spicy and oily foods. Also avoid constipation by taking laxatives. Papaya and guava are helpful to prevent constipation. 
I hope this is helpful to you. 
If you have any further query, I will be happy to help. 
Thanks.
