Question

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's 63 and has been dealing with high blood pressure for a while now, but today his blood pressure reading was something like 12255. Do you think that's unusual or something to worry about? Hes also been passing urine more often than usual, like 8 to 10 times in just 3 hours. Plus, he has high blood sugar and manages it with ayurvedic medicine. Could this all be connected somehow? Just trying to figure out if there's anything serious going on or if it's okay. Any advice would be really helpful.

Considering his symptoms and blood pressure reading, it is important to monitor his condition closely. The low diastolic blood pressure (55) may indicate inadequate blood flow to his organs. I recommend consulting his doctor to adjust his high blood pressure medication. Additionally, the frequent urination could be a sign of uncontrolled blood sugar levels. He may need a review of his ayurvedic medication or additional treatment. Regular monitoring and follow-up are essential in this situation.
