First time BP detected.
My Father's bp is 162/87. He never had high bp before. There were no symptoms as such and this reading came twice during a routine check up. The first one was 155/86. Doctor has suggested Stamlo-5. For how long does he have to take this medication? Please suggest.

At your father's age there was no need to interfere with a reading of 155/86 or 162/87 mm Hg BP.
