My father has been perfectly normal.He is 70 and walks a lot and has a lot of activity.Suddenly he has been getting tension and is a little worried. He complains lack of sleep and feels uneasy. His blood pressure is 103/53 with pulse between 85 and 100 sometimes. He does not complian of dizziness or anything else. but simply some tension over some silly household things! Is his pressure ok?

Simple and most effective home remedy is water. Drink at least 3 liters of water to keep your blood pressure checked. Fresh juice of Adathoda Vasica 30 ml in empty stomach for 30 days is also an effective home remedy.
Follow the Apple Diet The Apple diet is one of the best and easiest ways to help boost the weight loss efforts. It appears there are many versions of this diet. Here's an easy to use version that will give you slow, steady weight loss. This is not an extreme diet like you may think. Rule #1: Eat 1-2 Apples before each meal, minimum of 3 times a day. Before breakfast, eat 2 Apples. Before lunch, eat 2 Apples. Before dinner, eat 1 Apple. So you eat 5 total Apples a day. Rule #2: Eat whatever you want for meals. This rule is simple... eat whatever you want, just as long as you eat 2 Apples before breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Obviously eating healthier than normal would help your weight loss efforts even more, but it's not 100% necessary. You can replace 1 Apple with an Pomegranate before breakfast and lunch. you should notice a steady weight loss. It won't be extremely fast however it will give very good results. More over it will control your blood sugar levels and hypertension in control

Ideally blood pressure should stay under 120/80 and above 100/60mmHg. If he feels giddy after standing up from lying down position, he must keep his legs evelated for a while on some pillows before getting up. Also he can hang the legs down from the bed for 2 minutes while sitting before standing. He must learn l=to relax by Yoga, deep breathing exercises and also take less tension. Encourage fresh green leafy vegetables in the diet which are a rich source of antioxidants. Eat proteinaceous food liek pulses, dals, cereals Drink plenty of water. Sleep for 6-8 hours a day. He should do fine.

Hello;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
The Blood pressure of 103/53 is on lower side and it can be due to less water intake so tell your father to take more water and also give him electrolyte powder with water and he should feel better.The normal BP is 120/80 and as for the pulse of 85 is fine but if it is 100 then it may be as you said household issues which are causing him anxiety.To help that tell him to relax and do not discuss any issues in front of him.Increasing age and at 70 retired life can give rise to anxiety as a result of helplessness or inability to control the family problems.If the problem persists please consult a doctor nearby and get prescribed medicines for sleep and to relieve his anxiety.
Thanks
