Thanks for reaching out
This entirely depends on his personal details like age, BMI, Lipid profile etc.
My advice is to check his bp at the same time for 5 - 7 days and if it is the same range, then promptly consult me for starting anti hypertensive medications
Take care.
Next Steps
Maintain a bp chart and then consult doctor
Health Tips
Without proper charting it is difficult to ascertain whether he needs medication or it is normal
