my dad had diabetes and high bp, then he had surgery but got 3 bp attacks in the last 15 days. how do we manage his medicines now - when should we give them and what dosage would be right?

It's crucial to consult with your dad's doctor or a pharmacist to adjust his medication regimen, given his recent surgery and blood pressure fluctuations. It's likely that the surgery and anesthesia may have temporarily impacted his blood pressure, but the recurrence of attacks warrants attention. The doctor will need to assess the cause of the attacks (whether related to surgery, medications, or other factors) and adjust the dosage or type of medication accordingly. It's also important to ensure he is following a healthy lifestyle (diet, exercise, stress management) to help manage both diabetes and hypertension
