He was really responding well since 2012 with this medicine and this sudden spike in blood pressure is not known In this regard , please neglect the last para "He is really responding well.....Thanking you for everything" which is a typographical error.

Hello and welcome,
I've gone through the medical details of your father... Yes, his blood pressure is staying quite high which needs to be addressed promptly.
Following things needs to be done:
1. He has to avoid taking to much of stress as this also causes an increase in blood pressure.
2. Dietary salt intake should be reduced.
3. As of now, do increase the dose of Losanorm to 50mg in the morning, continue taking this for a week along with following other precautions. After a week start monitoring his blood pressure daily three times a day (morning, afternoon and evening) for 3 days.
Hopefully, this will work out, if not then please get back as and when required.
Kind Regards

He already started taking zero table salt. By the way , can he do morning walking ? Today, in morning my father took 2 tablet of Losanorm 25mg and 2 tablet of Cilacar 5mg. after one hour of taking blood pressure reading was measured to 174/84 in evening, just now measured , it is 180/80 in evening, Losanorm 50mg is yet to be taken. my question is whether further evaluation in a good hospital is required ? Whether ECG and other test are required to be done ? I have read that elevated blood pressure will have severe effect on kidney and eye and heart too , Any further test to be in this regard to rule out any damages already occurred silently. my father is saying that he does not have any abnormal ity or uneasiness in his health. Clinically what to expect if he continues to take above combination of medicine (2 Losanorm 25 and 2 Cilacar 5 in morning ) and (1 Losanorm 50mg in evening) for 1 week ?

Yes few tests will be required. I would like to suggest you to get an eco-cardiography done to see the status of his LV function.
Yes hypertensive patients do get affect on other organs of the body so it’s advisable to get a routine evaluation done which includes fundus examination of the eye and ultrasound of abdomen to check the status of kidneys.
Yes he can continue with the current medications and after a week his blood pressure should be under normal limits.
