Question
My dad is 58 and has a lot going on with his health. He's been through CABG surgery and deals with CKD and diabetes. His weight is around 59-61 kg. Up until now, his blood pressure's been quite stable, but recently I noticed it's gone up to about 140150 over 8090. I'm getting pretty worried about it. Do you think there's something with his medication? He's on Orofer XT, Cardivas 6.25, Nefrosave forte, Alfoo tab, Ecospirin Gold, and Isolazine. Could any dietary changes help as well? Would love to know what you think.

Given your father's medical history and current medications, to help manage his increased blood pressure, you can consider adding an antihypertensive medication like Amlodipine 5mg once daily. Additionally, it's important to ensure he is following a low-sodium diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Encouraging regular physical activity and stress-reducing activities can also be beneficial for his overall health.
