Dr. John Chiu answered

No ideal drug yet: Response to BP drugs varies greatly among people and often depending on co-existing illnesses and side effects as well. I think your father needs the guidance of a very skilled cardiologist. If he is smoking or obese, these are the two factors he will need to work on.
