Dear, The suggestion w as wrong, because for an elderly person with out assessing the cause of fluctuating B.P. we should not treat the case. Your dad may require 1.Regular B.P.check up by a qualified doctor 9am & 9pm both sitting &standing positions. If B.P. is persistently high, he may require medication and diagnostic tests as the case may be.
