Suggest A Remedy For Fluctuating BP Levels

My Dad is 95 and was on blood pressure medicine. He passed out (low heart rate) 11/28, and then had pneumonia. We stopped the blood pressure medicine and are taking his blood pressure at home. It varies, started 130-140/60, and has slowly mostly increased, now to 170/60. We have a Dr re-ck 1/6. Should he be seen before then? At what point is this dangerous?
