Hello!
I would explain that his blood pressure values are really high and this could cause harm to his heart, considering the fact that he has cardiac stents.
For this reason, I would recommend going to the ER for a physical exam, a resting ECG and cardiac enzymes and some blood lab tests (fasting glucose, blood electrolytes, kidney and liver function tests, etc.).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
