hi, Etova 400 can sometimes may affect blood pressure control. Anyway it a pain killer drug and should be consumed on whenever needed basis, however this issue can be discussed with local physician. other medicine seems fine.
Anyway he should have low salt and low fat diet along with regular exercises, which will also help.
