<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.my father is 71, has parkinsons and diabetes, and a massive heart attack 4 years ago ,he has been passing out and his neurosurgeon says its part of the parkinsons but his blood pressure readings are now 16599 yesterday and 173108 today. im concerned. should i take him in to see his dr?  <response>: Hi Their wonder why your father is not taking any antihypertensive medicine even after having a massive heart attack. Yes definitely he needs to be started on BP lowering medicines as persistently high BP can later on lead to Stroke and other cardiac issues. I would also like to get an ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY done on your father and then plan other medicines as required after assessing his LV Function. Good Luck
