I think my Dad has a death wish. He's 93 years old. He has High BP. The doctor upped his dose twice in a span of a few weeks. He's off his statin meds permanently due to a bad side effect. Yet he eats whatever he wants and he cooks with a heavy hand on the garlic salt. I've been tasked by his doctor to monitor his BP every day. Until yesterday it was fine but it was elevated yesterday after he got back from the store. I told him to rest for 30 minutes before I took his BP but it was still elevated. It seems every time he has an activity his BP rises. I don't know what to do about it.
