Question

I'm really concerned about my dad's health right now. A couple of years ago, he had bypass surgery and brain stenting, and he's been doing okay since then. But I've noticed that his pulse rate sometimes jumps to somewhere between 55 and 58 while he's resting and it goes even higher, to about 70 or 80, when hes walking. When hes sitting, it mostly remains at 55 to 58, whereas it used to be above 65. His blood pressure is 11570, and hes on a few medications like metosartan 50, clopivas 150, atorva 40, and glycomet 500. Should I be worried about these changes? He's not showing any symptoms or anything, but with the ongoing corona situation, we're hesitant to rush to the doctor for an ECG. Could this be normal, or is it something we need to look into?
