Hell and thank you for using HCM. I carefully read your question and i understand your concern. Don't worry,it is nothing serious.
According to your explanations your husband had a qua triple bypass and as i see he is all sow hypertensive and diabetic.
I have to explain you that in this category of a patient our goal is to maintain the heart pressure between 110-120 mmHg, because of ischemic heart disease and diabetes. So a heart pressure between 110 mmHg is quite normal, it is our goal. It is normal that if its just the beginning of this values it will take a little time to adapt. He might feel dizziness but you should not worry.It will pass.
Only if you catch lower blood preasure values, below 100/60 mmHg every day, we might consider to reduce any antihypertensive agent.
My opinion as a cardiologyes is that this values are quite normal for the moment and that your husbant should continue this way.
Hope I was helpful. Best regards
