What Methods Are The Best Recommended To Stabilize High Blood Pressure During Old Age?
I m afraid for my 91 year old Dad. He has high blood pressure but then twice the bottom number went to low and he passed out. He is on high blood pressure pills because at night it can go up to 217/109. Nothing seems to be working. Any suggestions?

Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
See a cardiologist / get him examined / at times, basic investigation will have to be repeated...
Thickening of big blood vessels, leaking aortic valve are some of the common causes here…
Good luck
Take care
Wishing all well
God bless
