Hi

You have no need to be scared- the detrimental effects of blood pressure occur over a long period of time.
ie - lowering blood pressure now prevents problems in the future.

Whilst it is true that his blood pressure needs reduced - this can be done in "office hours."

What meds is he on at present?
