Hi there ~

Primarily, I would advise you to have your father go off of cannabis. Also the elevated BP should be controlled with medications and all his problems with the stomach can be effectively treated with medications. I also think that you will do well with consulting a doctor along with your father for a complete history and physical as well as the required tests and bloodwork and any possible imagining tests that need to be done in this regard. I hope this helps.

Take care and have a lovely day!
