Flying for high pressure patient
My father is 65 years old diabetic and kidney patient with high pressure. His pressure usually remains around 160 -180 systolic and 120-140 diastolic with slight fluctuations. He regularly takes medicines for high blood pressure. Is it safe for him to fly?

Flights usually don't alter body parameters significantly for longer duration in healthy individual.
Get your fathers bp in normal range...which is on significantly higher side. And consult with physician about medication for better control
