Hi,

The first thing is to determine why his blood pressure has been going down for these couple of days:

- any blood loss?
- any other cardiovascular complication?

So, the first thing to do is to discuss with his cardiologist and run a few diagnostic tests to determine the right cause and treat it adequately.

For the moment, until you see his cardiologist, should:

- keep monitoring his blood pressure and record the results
- the dosage of the antihypertensive meds he is taking should be reduced. You might consult his caring doctor for this.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
