1. he needs admission as in-patient
2. High BP with vomiting, it is important to rule out raised intra-cranial hypertension; also, hypertensive encephalopathy, gastritis, nephritis, etc
3. ECG, echo, CT brain, blood and urine tests are indicated

hi
welcome to healthcaremagic forum
first up all get him admitted so that you can evaluate the problem .this resistant/accilerated hypertension may be due to many reason ie myocardial infarction,stroke, if not controlled he can go to hypertensive encephelopahy.so don't waste time consult a cardilogist
