Symptoms? Medication: Is your dad taking any medications for high blood pressure? (If so, perhaps it is working). Is your dad having any symptoms from the decrease of blood pressure (Which may now be in the normal range)? If not, then there's not much to worry about. Consider HealthTap Prime or talking to your regular doctor if this change is accompanied by symptoms. BP changes quickly, so measure again b4 calling. GL!
