He needs to go: The er or urgent care for extremely high BP higher than 160/110 esp. If he has symptoms like headache, vomiting, dizziness, passing out etc. Uncontrolled hypertension warrants the needs for two or more BP meds.http://www.heart.org/heartorg/conditions/highbloodpressure/whybloodpressurematters/why-blood-pressure-matters_ucm_002051_article.jsp#maincontent.

It depends: May be due to medication like clonidine, condition like pheochromocytoma, stress, irregularity of timing of taking medications etc.Please see a doctor for this high bp.
