Hello!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that high blood pressure values could be related to straining physical activity or anxiety.

Anyway, I would recommend consulting with his attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:

-a resting ECG
- complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- kidney and liver function tests for possible dysfunction
- cortisol and aldosterone for adrenal gland dysfunction.

You should discuss with his doctor on the above tests.

Meanwhile, it is necessary to closely monitor his blood pressure values during the day.

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