Question

My dad's been dealing with really high blood pressure, it's at 190100, and it's been like this for a week now. It's pretty concerning because he's also been managing diabetes for like 10 years, high blood pressure issues for 5 years, and kidney problems for 3 years. Even though he's on medication, his blood pressure isn't budging. What should we do in this situation? Could there be something else to try or look into?
