Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
He is symptomatic for high blood pressure so should be treated immediately. Advice him for low salt diet, regular exercises. You can discuss with local doctor regarding tab Amlodipine or telmisartan to begin. Also he should get his lipid profile and sugars tested.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
