a freind , he is 51 years, always had blood pressure reading LOW.... almost 117/78 etc

for the last two days, he has problems while sleeping and BP found to be 135/105

he is a regular brisk walker.. if he continues walking, does it affect against his health ? does he have the BP come down and resume walking ? What is the better option ?

Also how he can bring down the BP to normal ?
( I mean 135/105 is'nt a slight higher for 51 year old )

my friend..

have him to for check up... the cardiologist might give him medication for his BP or just for maintenance-- prevention is better than cure!!!
