Yes you should be concern on blood pressure if it stays above 140/90 Regularly. So for this you need to check the blood pressure every day mainly morning time and if it stays on higher side or fluctuate a lot then visit you physician and change the medication because most of the stroke cases the cause use to be a high blood pressure. I suggest do not get panic with just one day reading and check it for another 2 to 3 days regularly.
At any time if he has headache, nausea or weakness feeling do rush to hospital for medical check up. As of now it looks all normal. Take care
