I just spoke to my dad and he shared that his blood pressure is 189/91. Yikes. He is under a doctor's care and on some kind of medication (prescribed 2 weeks ago). I told him to call his doctor immediately and let me know what they said but so far he hasn't called back and I expect that he will not hear from the doctor until tomorrow. He has had high blood pressure in the past, but nothing like this.
Ugh.
He lives with my brother and sister in law, they aren't ones to worry (that's my role in the family, lolol). My question is how worried should I be? He's been under a lot of stress since losing his wife last year, so I am not really that surprised. Is this more of a chronic issue or acute? We leave this weekend for Hawaii, of course, and I am trying to sort this out before we leave. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
