Hello, I passed carefully through your question and would explain that it is important to closely monitor his blood pressure values frequently during the next days. I agree with the doctors' therapy.  But, if blood pressure values remain above the normal ranges (125/85\u00a0mm Hg), it would be necessary for increasing the dose of April to 10\u00a0mg daily.  Bleeding is related to high blood pressure.  Reducing salt and caffeine intake will help maintain his blood pressure values under control.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
