Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You did not mention his age as it sets his BP (Blood Pressure) target levels. As long as your history suggests, this BP of 150/90 is not target value of any age, but you need to check it regularly, and if it stays the same, then you should revisit your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muhammad Adnan Iqbal
