Hello. Your father is having high blood pressure problem. I have gone through reports attached herewith (attachment removed to protect patient identity). His total cholesterol level is also high. So, the lifestyle changes are needed in your case. Daily half to one-hour brisk walking-running or swimming is advisable. In cooking, use less salt and potassium salt can be used instead of the sodium salt. Sunflower oil can be used in cooking. Use less oil in cooking. Fruits and green leafy vegetables can be taken more. You can investigate further with serum random blood sugar estimation, EKG, serum urea, creatinine, SGOT (aspartate transaminase), SGPT (alanine transaminase), serum sodium and potassium estimation, renal doppler USG, urine protein estimation for further work up. Antihypertensive medication has to be taken if dietary measures do not help in reducing blood pressure. For high cholesterol, Rosuvastatin 5 mg OD (once daily) can be prescribed.
