This can be normal for his age.
Do not worry.
As we age , our blood vessels get thicker and can cause a high value . This could be normal for his body .
Also , one value is not enough to mask a decision.
He could be naxious when you chekc his BP and that can show a high value.
Please repeat the measurement atleast 3 different times with time gap.
If you have any other questions , pls consult with me in the app.
